IL-18简介

：

白介 18（IL-18）是一个 18 kDa 的细胞因子
，结构上与 IL-1 极其相似
，对 T 细胞的活化有重要影响

。IL-18 的前体缺少信号肽
，前体

由 IL-1beta 转换酶（ICE）裂解为成熟的 IL-18

。

有报道称 IL-18 由下列细胞产生

：树突状细胞
、活化的巨噬细胞

、凯夫勒细胞

、角化细胞


、肠内皮细胞、格根包尔氏细胞、肾上腺皮

质细胞等。其中有报道称人的角化细胞是 IL-18 的主要产生源。

IL-18 对 T 辅助细胞起作用


，其效果是与 IL-12 协同强烈刺激 T 辅助细胞产生 IFN-γ



。当然

，IL-18 也有许多其它的效用，包括刺激

外周血中由单核细胞产生 IFN-γ 和 GM-CSF 水平的升高
，刺激 T 细胞产生 Th1 类的细胞因子如 IL-2

、IFN-γ 和 GM-CSF 等

，提高 Th1 类

的细胞表面的 Fas 配体的表达
。此外，在治疗肿瘤



、感染和自身免疫方面
，IL-18 也是一个重要的预后指标。

检测原理:

本试剂盒采用双抗体夹心ELISA法检测样本中IL-18的浓度
。IL-18捕获抗体已预包被于酶标板上




，当同时加入标本或参考品和检测抗

体时

，其中IL-18蛋白上的不同位点会与捕获抗体和检测抗体结合

，形成夹心复合物


，锚定在固相载体板上
，其它游离的成分通过洗涤的过

程被除去。随后加入辣根过氧化物酶标记的亲合素
。生物素与亲合素特异性结合
，亲合素连接的酶就会与夹心的免疫复合物连接起来；其

它游离的成分通过洗涤的过程被除去
。最后加入显色剂，若样本中存在IL-18将会形成免疫复合物，辣根过氧化物酶会催化无色的显色剂氧

化成蓝色物质





，在加入终止液后呈黄色
。通过酶标仪检测

，读其450nm处的OD值，IL-18浓度与OD450值之间呈正比

，通过参考品绘制标准曲

线
，对照未知样本中OD值
，即可算出标本中IL-18浓度

。

ELISA Kit for the Quantitative Analysis of Human IL-18

The human IL-18 ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) kit is used for detection of human IL-18 in cell culture

supernatants,human serum and plasma.THE ELISA KIT IS FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY. Please read this instruction manual carefully

and check out the material provided before use, and you can contact with our company if any questions. You can enter our website or call

us for other aim.

Introduction

Interleukin 18 (IL-18) is an 18 kDa cytokine, structurally similar to IL-1, with great effects on T-cell activation. The precursor of IL- 18

is lacking a signal peptide and the mature molecule is formed by IL-1 beta-converting enzyme (ICE, caspase-1) cleaved the precursor.

It has been reported that IL-18 is produced from dendritic cells, activated macrophages, Kupffer cells, keratinocytes, intestinal

epithelial cells, osteoblasts and adrenal cortex cells. Human keratinocytes have been found to be the major producers of IL-18.

IL-18 acts on T helper 1-type (Th1) cells, and in combination with IL-12 strongly induces production of IFN-γ by these cells.

Pleiotropic effects of IL-18 have also been reported, including enhancement production of IFN-γ and GM-CSF in peripheral blood

mononuclear cells, production of Th1 cytokines, IL-2, GM-CSF and IFN-γ in T cells, enhancement of Fas ligand expression by Th1 cells.

Further more,an important role of IL-18 has been shown in clinical implications, in the role of IL-18 modulation in tumours, infections, and

autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

Principles of the Test

The kits is a solid sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of human IL-18. An anti-human IL-18 monoclonal

antibody has been absorbed onto the wells of the microtiter strips provided. Samples including specimens or standards and human IL-18

biotin-conjugated antibody were pipetted into wells. The different epitope of human IL-18 would be captured by the coated antibody and

the biotin-conjugated antibody, which formed a sandwich. Free protein or antibody would be removed during a wash step.

Streptavidin-HRP would be added and binds to the biotin conjugated antibody, then free Streptavidin-HRP would be removed during a

wash step. After this, subtrate solution would be added and catalyzed by the HRP, and a coloured product is formed. The intensity of the

colored product is used to calculate in proportion to the amount of human IL-18 in the original specimen.

、Usage of disposable pipette tips avoid microbial contamination or cross-contamination of reagents or specimens.

6. Do not mix or substitute reagents with those from other lots or other sources.

7. To ensure the adequate mixure of added reagents, please tap gently the plate after the wells were filled with liquid.

8. Incubation temperature should be 25～28℃.

9. Wash step was crucial for whole assay process.

10. Duplicate wells of the same sample were recommended in assay process.

11. Avoid the foam while pour the liquid into wells.

12
、For serum or plasma samples ,the biotin-conjugated antibody should be incubate for at least 90 minutes.

Reagent Preparation

1.The reagents should be warmed up to room temperature before use. The remanent reagents must reseal and put into refrigeratory

again as soon as possible.

2.Dilute 1ml of wash buffer Concentrate into 19ml deionized or distilled water to work.

3. If you have a 5x standard diluent, please dilute it with double steaming water or deionized water.

4. Add standard diluent to the bottle according to the volume of the label and wait 15 minutes for complete dissolution. And in turn add the

half concentration diluent by standard diluent .

Wash step:

Automated microplate washer or operating by pipette: Each well should be pour into300ul wash buffer and soak 15 or 30 seconds,then

be aspirated, five times process were repeated. After the last wash, remove remaining wash buffer by aspirating.Invert the plate and blot

it against clean paper towels.

Materials Required But Not Provided

1. pipettes and pipette tips

2. Microwell strip reader capable of reading at 450 nm (540 nm as optional reference wave length)

3. automated microplate washer

4.Glass-distilled or deionized water

Assay procedure

1.The needed strips were putted into the frame, the remains were returned into foil pouch and resealed.

2.Blank well were recommended, which only color reagent and stop solution be added. It is suggested that each testing with gradient

density of standard for standard curve.

3.Add 100ul of standard or sample. If assay the serum sample,you should add 50μ l assay buffer with 50μ l sample into the wells,if the

protein concentration is higher than the range of the Kit, add the same quantitys assay buffer with the sample, the deficiency should be

complemented with sample diluent to 100μ l per well..

4.Add 50ul of detetion antibody. Cover with the Plate Covers provided.Incubate for 2 hours at room temperature.

5.Five times wash process were repeated.

6.Add 100ul of Streptavidin-HRP. Cover with the Plate Covers provided. Lucifugal incubation for 30 minutes at room temperature.

7.Five times wash process were repeated.

8.Add 100ul of TMB
，Lucifugal incubation for 20 minutes at room temperature.

9.Add 50ul of stop solution to each well, determine the optical density of each well within 10 minutes.

Calculation of Results

1.Duplicates should be within 20 per cent of the mean. Average absorbance values for each set of duplicate samples were used as

detection results.

2.The blank absorbance values of subtract should be deducted.

3.Drawing a best fit curve through the points of graph. Draw the standard curve by plotting assayed OD valure (on the Y axis) vs.

concentration (on the X axis). The sample concentration was obtained based on its OD value founding in the standard concentration

curve.

4.If the values obtained are not within the expected range of the standard, Samples should be dilute and assay again.
