Product details:
Human IL-5 ELISA Kit ab215536 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Human IL-5 in cell culture supernatant, citrate plasma, EDTA plasma, heparin plasma, serum, urine. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 3.3 pg/mL.
How the assay works
Human IL-5 SimpleStep ELISA
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.
Assay Specificity
Our SimpleStep ELISA
kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

Interleukin 5 (IL-5) is a small, 113 amino acid cytokine produced by T cells involved in the differentiation of B-cells to immunoglobulin secreting cells. IL-5 is a key mediator in the survival and effector functions of mature eosinophils. Due to its effects on eosinophils, IL-5 is implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma and other hypereosinophilic inflammatory conditions.
