This entire complex (capture antibody\/analyte\/detector antibody) is in turn immobilized via immunoaffinity of an anti-tag antibody coating the well. To perform the assay, samples or standards are added to the wells, followed by the antibody mix. After incubation, the wells are washed to remove unbound material. CatchPoint HRP Development Solution containing the Stoplight Red Substrate is added. During incubation, the substrate is catalyzed by HRP generating a fluorescent product. Signal is generated proportionally to the amount of bound analyte and the intensity is measured in a fluorescence plater reader at 530\/570\/590 nm Excitation\/Cutoff\/Emission.\u003cbr\u003e\nIL-8 is a chemotactic factor that attracts neutrophils, basophils, and T cells, but not monocytes. It is also involved in neutrophil activation. It is released from several cell types in response to an inflammatory stimulus. IL-8(6-77) has a 5-10-fold higher activity on neutrophil activation, IL-8(5-77) has increased activity on neutrophil activation and IL-8(7-77) has a higher affinity to receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2 as compared to IL-8(1-77), respectively\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nIL-8 also known as CXCL8 is a cytokine with a molecular weight of approximately 8 kDa. It belongs to the CXC chemokine family and plays a role in the recruitment of neutrophils to sites of inflammation. Cells like monocytes macrophages and endothelial cells express IL-8 after activation by pro-inflammatory signals. The protein exhibits high expression in cells associated with the immune response and inflammation serving as a signaling molecule between these cell types.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nIL-8 functions as a chemoattractant for neutrophils and lymphocytes facilitating their movement towards the site of infection or injury. It does not form part of a larger protein complex but operates individually to enhance immune cell migration. IL-8 possesses unique binding motifs allowing it to interact with specific receptors namely CXCR1 and CXCR2 on target cells. This binding triggers cellular responses leading to effective immune surveillance and response to inflammatory stimuli.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nIL-8 operates within important inflammatory and immune response pathways. It forms a part of the NF-κB signaling cascade which activates in response to stress signals promoting the expression of other inflammatory mediators. Additionally it engages in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway influencing cellular responses such as proliferation and differentiation. The interaction of IL-8 with these pathways highlights its role in modulating immune responses and highlights its interaction with other proteins such as TNF-α and IL-1β.\u003cbr\u003e\nIL-8 shows a strong association with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It acts as a biomarker for these diseases often correlating with disease severity and inflammation levels. In rheumatoid arthritis IL-8 contributes to joint inflammation and degradation while in COPD it enhances airway inflammation and tissue damage. The cytokine's involvement in these diseases connects it with other inflammatory mediators such as MMPs and leukotrienes which collectively exacerbate disease pathology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843561181353,"sku":"ab229402","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab229402","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
