The human IFN-α ELISA^PRO kit provides all necessary reagents and solutions required to quantify IFN-α in solution, e.g. in cell culture supernatant, and serum/plasma samples. The kit contains an ELISA plate pre-coated with monoclonal capture antibodies, biotinylated detection antibody, Streptavidin-HRP, TMB substrate, ELISA standard and ELISA diluent. The ELISA diluent prevents false positive read-outs which may be caused by heterophilic antibodies found in serum and plasma samples.

Mabtech"s pan specific IFN-α ELISA detects subtypes 1/13, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 14, 16 and 17

Pre-coated ELISA plates save time and reduce assay variability.

The monoclonal antibodies in this kit cross-react with IFN-α from non-human primates. See the Human/NHP cross-reactivity table.

IFN-α panInterferon-α (IFN-α, also known as IFN-alpha, IFN-a, IFNA and Interferon-alpha) is a type I interferon and exists as 13 subtypes: IFN-α 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 13, 14, 16, 17 and 21. They are mainly produced by virus infected cells after sensing the presence of danger signals such as viral DNA or RNA. The binding of IFN-α to its receptor initiates an anti-viral response, but also anti-tumor effects have been shown. A key producer of type I interferons is the plasmacytoid dendritic cell.
