The CatchPoint SimpleStep ELISA employs an affinity tag labeled capture antibody and a reporter conjugated detector antibody which immunocapture the sample analyte in solution. 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.
C-X-C motif chemokine 10 (CXCL10 or IP-10) is a small 10.8kD protein that is secreted by several cell types in response to interferon-gamma (IFNg). These cell types include monocytes, endothelial cells and fibroblasts. Upon secretion, CXCL10 is cleaved into an 8.7kD biologically active protein to function in chemotaxis for T-cells, NK cells, monocytes/macrophages and dendritic cells. In addition, CXCL10 has antitumor activity through the inhibition of bone marrow colony formation and angiogenesis. CXCL10 elicits its effects by binding to the cell surface chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3).

IP10 also known as CXCL10 is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. It has a molecular mass of approximately 8.7 kDa. IP10 is secreted by several cell types such as monocytes endothelial cells and fibroblasts in response to interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). This protein is involved in immune responses and exhibits various roles especially in chemoattracting cells. Researchers often measure IP10 concentrations using ELISA kits such as the IP-10 ELISA to study its expression levels in different biological contexts.
Biological function summary
IP10 plays a role in modulating the activities of immune cells. It attracts T cells eosinophils monocytes and natural killer (NK) cells by binding to the CXCR3 receptor. IP10 is not part of a larger complex but interacts with other cytokines to influence cell migration and the immune response. High levels of IP10 can reflect strong immune activation which is why it is often measured in inflammatory conditions using standard assays like the IP-10 ELISA kits.
Pathways
The role of IP10 lies within the Th1-type immune response pathway. In this pathway IP10 works alongside other chemokines to recruit and activate immune cells to sites of inflammation or infection. It synergizes with IFN-γ to propagate immune signals. IP10 is also linked with the CXCR3 receptor which plays a critical role in these pathways providing a connection to other proteins such as CXCL9 and CXCL11 which have similar functions in cell-mediated immunity.
IP10 is associated with conditions like multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Elevated IP10 levels often correlate with disease activity in these disorders making it a potential biomarker for disease progression. The protein interacts with other inflammatory mediators such as TNF-α in regulating immune activity within these disease contexts. IP10's involvement in recruiting immune cells contributes to the pathogenic inflammation observed in these conditions.
