(a) Two monoclonal antibodies against distinct epitopes are conjugated with oligo probes, then form a sandwich complex with the antigen. (b) Following antigen recognition by the paired antibodies, the conjugated oligonucleotides are spatially proximate, and generate an amplifiable dsDNA template under the enzymatic action. (c) qPCR amplification is then performed. CT values correlate inversely with protein concentration, and sample target concentrations are calculated via standard curve.

Kit Info N/A
Target Info Interleukin-18 is a secreted protein and it belongs to the IL-1 family. IL-18 is a proinflammatory cytokine and produced by macrophages and other cells. This cytokine can induce the IFN-gamma production of T cells. The combination of this cytokine and IL12 has been shown to inhibit IL-4 dependent IgE and IgG1 production, and enhance IgG2a production of B cells. IL-18 binding protein (IL18BP) can specifically interact with this cytokine, and thus negatively regulate its biological activity. After stimulation with IL-18, natural killer (NK) cells and certain T cells release another important cytokine called interferon-γ (IFN-γ) or type II interferon that plays an important role in activating the macrophages or other cells.
