The VeriKine-HS Human IFN-Beta Serum ELISA Kit is developed to measure low or basal levels of Human IFN-Beta in autoimmune sera, normal sera/plasma, or tissue culture media (TCM) samples by sandwich ELISA. The LLOQ of this kit is 1.2 pg/ml. Basal levels of Type I IFNs, including IFN-Beta, are not fully understood. They are believed to be important for robust response to pathogens and may play additional roles in cellular homeostasis.
This assay is suitable for the measurement of trademarked therapeutic molecules in human serum samples. Researchers and clinical investigators examining a) the pharmacokinetics of IFN-Beta molecules, b) IFN-Beta as a biomarker, or c) IFN-Beta as a pharmacodynamic marker of TLR agent or other immune response modifier activity will find this immunoassay to be an essential laboratory tool.
*For a TCM-compatible ELISA, we recommend our Human IFN-Beta ELISA Kit, High Sensitivity (Cat. No. 41435-1).

Tech Info & Data
Background
Interferon beta (IFN-Beta, IFNb) is part of the first wave of cytokine response in cells. Pathogen infection can result in the activation of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) which functions in trans to activate IFN-Beta gene transcription. IFN-Beta is biologically unique when compared to other interferons and studies have shown that IFN-Beta has overlapping and distinct gene expression patterns as compared to IFN-Alpha. It appears that IFN-Beta binds to the Type I IFN receptor with higher affinity than the other Type I IFNs and it may also regulate receptor internalization in a different manner. Additionally, IFN-Beta has long been known to inhibit viral replication as part of the body’s innate antiviral response and is used as a therapeutic for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and some tumors.
