Description
ELISA Standard: This recombinant human IL-7 is useful as a quantitative standard for measuring human IL-7 protein levels in an IL-7 specific sandwich ELISA with the purified BVD10-40F6 antibody (Cat. No. 554493) as a capture antibody and the biotinylated BVD10-11C10 (Cat. No. 554494) as the detection antibody. To obtain linear standard curves, doubling dilutions of this human IL-7 standard from ~2,000 to 15 pg/ml should be included in each ELISA plate. For specific methodology, please visit the protocols section or chapter on ELISA in the Immune Function Handbook, both of which are posted on our website, www.bdbioscience.com. Representative Biological Activity: This product has been reported to have biological activity with an ED50 in the range of 0.2 -0.5ng/ml. Please note that this application is not routinely tested at BD Biosciences. Note: Carrier proteins should be pre-screened for possible effects in an appropriate experimental system. Carrier proteins may effect experimental results due to toxicity, high endotoxin levels or possible blocking activities.
This preparation contains no preservatives, thus it should be handled under aseptic conditions.
1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
