DescriptionSMC™ Human IL-1α High Sensitivity Immunoassay Kit
OverviewThe SMC™ Human IL-1α High Sensitivity Immunoassay Kit contains all reagents required to perform the assay. This assay takes advantage of a standard immunoassay workflow configured in a standard plate format. Assay protocols are similar to existing sandwich ELISA methods with two key differences: 1) Elution buffer disrupts the sandwich, separating the labeled detection antibody for quantification. 2) The Erenna® and SMCxPRO™ immunoassay systems detect analytes using Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) technology.
Background InformationInterleukin 1 alpha (IL-1α) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine of the Interleukin 1 family associated with inflammation and various immune responses by the promotion of fever and sepsis, various immune responses and hematopoiesis. It is produced by monocytes and macrophages as a proprotein, proteolytically processed, and released in response to cell injury and is found in low concentrations in serum and plasma.
