Revvity, AL593HV, AlphaLISA Mouse IFN-γ High Performance Detection Kit, 100 Assay Points

Overview
Interferon gamma (IFNγ) is a homodimer glycosylated cytokine that is produced predominantly by natural killer and natural killer T cells. It is critical for innate and adaptive immunity against viral, bacterial, and protozoan infections, and is involved in tumor growth. In domestic animal species, IFNγ is associated with autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases and inhibits viral replication and bacterial infections. Genetic variation of this cytokine is also associated with the risk of aplastic anemia.

Half the time of an ELISA assay

AlphaLISA technology allows the detection of molecules of interest in a no-wash, highly sensitive, quantitative assay. In an AlphaLISA assay, a biotinylated anti-analyte antibody binds to the Streptavidin-coated Donor beads while another anti-analyte antibody is conjugated to AlphaLISA Acceptor beads. In the presence of the analyte, the beads come into close proximity. The excitation of the Donor beads causes the release of singlet oxygen molecules that triggers a cascade of energy transfer in the Acceptor beads, resulting in a sharp peak of light emission at 615 nm.
How it works
Principle of the AlphaLISA assay

The AlphaLISA assay is based on an AlphaLISA sandwich immunoassay involving a biotinylated anti-analyte antibody bound to Streptavidin-coated AlphaLISA Donor beads and an anti-analyte antibody conjugated to AlphaLISA Acceptor beads. Both antibodies are directed against the analyte of interest. In the presence of the target, both antibodies bind to analyte and the beads come into proximity. The excitation of the Donor beads provokes the release of singlet oxygen molecules that triggers a cascade of energy transfer within the Acceptor beads, resulting in emission with λmax at 615 nm. The intensity of the signal is directly proportional to the concentration of analyte present in the sample.

 

Protocol of the AlphaLISA assay

The AlphaLISA assay can be run in a 96- or 384-well detection plate (50 µL final). As described here, samples or standards are dispensed directly into the assay plate for the detection of the analyte of interest by AlphaLISA reagents. No washing steps are needed. The protocol can be further miniaturized or upscaled by simply resizing each addition volume proportionally.
