General description

Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a CXC chemokine synthesized by many cell types, including macrophages, epithelial cells and endothelial cells in response to a pathogen or inflammatory stimulus. IL-8 functionendothelials as a chemotactic factor that attracts neutrophils, basophils, and T-cells. IL-8 is one of the major mediators of the inflammatory response and of innate immunity. Its function is to recruit neutrophils to phagocytose the foreign antigen. IL-8 is also a potent angiogenic factor that induces neutrophils to leave the bloodstream and enter into the surrounding tissue. IL-8 has been shown to have roles in the pathological angiogenesis that is associated with solid tumors, diabetic retinopathy and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
The SMC® 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.
