SMC^® Mouse IL-21 Discovery Immunoassay Kit

Interleukin-21 (IL-21) is a cytokine with a potent regulatory effect on the immune system. Mainly produced by activated T-cells, IL-21 is responsible for the hematopoiesis of T-, B-, natural killer and dendritic cells. The production and differentiation of these effector cells may lead to an increased immunity against cancerous or virally infected cells. Thus, the role of IL-21 in the regulation of immuno-inflammatory responses has important implications for diseases such as multiple sclerosis, metastatic melanoma and metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Thus IL-21 will remain an attractive subject for drug development. Successful study outcomes will further establish IL-21 immunotherapy as an effective treatment for various cancers and inflammatory diseases.

The Single Molecule Counting (SMC^®) Mouse IL-21 Discovery 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 SMC^® immunoassay system detects analytes using Single Molecule Counting (SMC^®) technology.
