Abstract

Interleukin 8 (IL-8) is a chemotactic and activating chemokine, especially for neutrophils, which plays an important role in inflammatory process. A pig IL-8 specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to measure IL-8 concentrations in cell culture supernatants and biological fluids. A streptavidin-biotin amplified sandwich method uses mouse capture mAb IZ8.03 and detection biotinylated mouse mAb IZ8.04 against recombinant pig IL-8. The assay specifically and reproducibly recognizes both recombinant and natural pig IL-8. A working range of the assay is 16-1000 pg/mL and takes a mere 3.5 h of incubation time. This pig IL-8 ELISA is a suitable alternative way of measurement of IL-8 concentrations to time consuming and laborious IL-8 bioassays.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
