DY008, DuoSet ELISA Ancillary Reagent Kit 2 -

This DuoSet ELISA Development kit contains the basic components required for the development of sandwich ELISAs to measure natural and recombinant human Interleukin 36 alpha (IL-36α). The suggested diluent is suitable for the analysis of most cell culture supernate, serum, and plasma samples. Diluents for complex matrices, such as serum and plasma, should be evaluated prior to use in this DuoSet.

Background: IL-36 alpha/IL-1F6

Interleukin 36 alpha (IL-36 alpha), also known as IL-1F6 and FIL1 epsilon, is a member of the IL-1 family of proteins. Cells reported to express IL-36 alpha include monocytes, B cells, and T cells. Notably, IL-36 alpha is the only novel IL-1 family member expressed on T-cells. The receptor for IL-36 alpha is reported to be a combination of IL-1 R6/IL-1 R rp2 and IL-1 R3/IL-1 R AcP. Recombinant IL-36 alpha has been shown to activate pathways involving NF-kappa B and MAPK in an IL-1 R6/IL-1 R rp2-dependent manner.
