Product details:
Mouse CXCL11 ELISA Kit (I-TAC) (ab204519) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of CXCL11 (I-TAC) protein in cell culture supernatant, plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse CXCL11 (I-TAC) with 1.4 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
CXCL11 (I-TAC) is a chemokine for interleukin-activated T-cells but not unstimulated T-cells, neutrophils or monocytes. Induces calcium release in activated T-cells. Binds to CXCR3. May play an important role in CNS diseases which involve T-cell recruitment and in skin immune responses.

CXCL11 also known as I-TAC or Interferon-inducible T-cell alpha chemoattractant is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. It weighs around 8 to 11 kilodaltons. CXCL11 predominantly expresses itself in tissues such as the thymus spleen and peripheral blood leukocytes after stimulation with interferons. Its primary role is attracting activated T-cells especially those expressing CXCR3 receptor contributing to immune surveillance and response.
Biological function summary
The chemokine plays an important role in immune system regulation and inflammation response. It attracts and activates leukocytes including T-cells and natural killer cells driving them to sites of inflammation and injury. CXCL11 is not part of a complex but interacts with other chemokines and cytokines to modulate immune responses. Its expression is upregulated in response to IFN-γ working synergistically with other chemokines like CXCL9 and CXCL10 in inflammatory environments.
Pathways
CXCL11 is integral to the chemotaxis signaling pathway. It influences the migration and activation of immune cells by interacting with the CXCR3 receptor. This pathway shares involvement with proteins such as CXCL10 which also binds to CXCR3 enabling precise directionality and regulation of immune cell movement towards inflammation sites. Additionally CXCL11's participation in the inflammatory response pathway connects it to multiple cellular responses necessary for combating infections.
CXCL11 has been linked to autoimmune diseases and cancer. Its elevated expression is associated with conditions like multiple sclerosis where it may contribute to the pathological migration of immune cells into the central nervous system. In cancer CXCL11 can affect tumor microenvironments by recruiting immune cells with cytotoxic potential although this may also facilitate tumor progression in certain contexts. Proteins related to its disease association include CXCR3 and CXCL10 which together modulate various immunological outcomes in these diseases.
