Biolegend, 447107, LEGEND MAX™ Mouse IL-25 (IL-17E) ELISA Kit

IL-25, also known as IL-17E, is a pro-inflammatory cytokine encoded by the IL25 gene located on chromosome 14. The IL-17 family consists of IL-17A, IL-17B, IL-17C, IL-17F, IL-17A/F, and IL-17E. The IL-17 family has a similar protein structure with four conserved cysteine residues and two disulfide bonds. IL-25 expression is widely distributed and can be produced by a variety of cells and tissues. IL-25 induces T helper 2 (Th2) expansion and production of cytokines IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13. This is important in eosinophil expansion, regulating gut immunity, and in the response to helminth parasites. IL-25 has been demonstrated to play a role in allergy and asthma. IL-25 levels are positively correlated with the severity of allergenic rhinitis in patients. Blocking IL-25 has been proposed as an allergy treatment in combination with other therapies. IL-25 has also been associated with the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis and is frequently upregulated in the serum and synovial fluid of patients and in mouse models of rheumatoid arthritis. BioLegend’s LEGEND MAX™ Mouse IL-25 (IL-17E) ELISA kit is a Sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) with a 96-well strip plate. The plate is pre-coated with a monoclonal rat capture antibody. The detection antibody is a biotinylated rat monoclonal antibody. This kit is specifically designed for the accurate quantitation of mouse IL-25 from cell culture supernatant, serum, plasma and other biological fluids. It is analytically validated with ready-to-use reagents.
