Intended Uses: This Human Interleukin-2 soluble receptor alpha ELISA Kit is to be used for the in vitro quantitative determination of human interleukin-2 soluble receptor alpha (IL-2 sRalpha) concentrations in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, and other biological fluids. This kit is intended FOR LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY and is not to be used in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
other info2 :
Sensitivity: The minimum detectable quantity of human IL-2 sRalpha as observed by the standard curve generated for both Calibrator Diluent I and Calibrator Diluent II is 10 pg/mL. The two standard deviations above the mean optical density of the 20 replicates of the zero standard were defined as the minimum detectable quantities. Intra-assay Precision: To determine within-run precision, three different samples of known concentration were assayed by replicates of twenty in 1 assay. Inter-assay Precision: To determine between-run precision, three different samples of known concentration were assayed by replicates on 20 different assays.

products description :
Principle of the assay: This IL-2 sRalpha enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) applies a technique called a quantitative sandwich immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with a monoclonal antibody specific to IL-2 sRalpha. Standards or samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with a biotin-conjugated polyclonal antibody preparation specific for IL-2 sRalpha and incubated. IL-2 sRalpha, if present, will bind and become immobilized by the antibody pre-coated on the wells and then become "sandwiched" by biotin conjugate. The microtiter plate wells are thoroughly washed to remove unbound IL- 2 sRalpha and other components of the sample. In order to quantitatively determine the amount of IL-2sRalpha present in the sample, Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to each microplate well and incubated. Avidin is a tetramer containing four identical subunits, each having a high affinity-binding site for biotin. The wells are thoroughly washed to remove all unbound HRP-conjugated Avidin and a TMB (3,3'5, 5' tetramethyl-benzidine) substrate solution is added to each well. The enzyme (HRP) and substrate are allowed to react over a short incubation period. Only those wells that contain IL-2 sRalpha, biotin-conjugated antibody, and enzyme-conjugated Avidin will exhibit a change in colour. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the colour change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450nm +/- 2nm. In order to measure the concentration of IL-2 sRalpha in the samples this kit includes two calibration diluents (Calibrator Diluent I for serum/plasma testing and Calibrator Diluent II for cell culture supernatant testing.) According to the testing system, the provided standard is diluted (2-fold) with the appropriate Calibrator Diluent and assayed at the same time as the samples. This allows the operator to produce a standard curve of Optical Density (O.D) versus IL-2 sRalpha concentration (pg/mL). The concentration of IL-2 sRalpha in the samples is then determined by comparing the O.D. of the samples to the standard curve.

ncbi summary :
The interleukin 2 (IL2) receptor alpha (IL2RA) and beta (IL2RB) chains, together with the common gamma chain (IL2RG), constitute the high-affinity IL2 receptor. Homodimeric alpha chains (IL2RA) result in low-affinity receptor, while homodimeric beta (IL2RB) chains produce a medium-affinity receptor. Normally an integral-membrane protein, soluble IL2RA has been isolated and determined to result from extracellular proteolyisis. Alternately-spliced IL2RA mRNAs have been isolated, but the significance of each is presently unknown. Mutations in this gene are associated with interleukin 2 receptor alpha deficiency.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]
