The VeriKine Human IFN-Alpha Multi-Subtype Serum ELISA kit is designed to provide accurate measurement of human IFN-Alpha amounts in serum and plasma samples. This kit quantitates human IFN-Alpha in human sera, plasma and tissue culture media using a sandwich immunoassay. The kit is based on an ELISA with anti-detection antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Tetramethyl-benzidine (TMB) is the substrate. The assay is based on the international reference standard for human interferon alpha (Hu-IFN-a) provided by the National Institutes of Health. 

 

*For global subtype detection and additional sensitivity, we recommend our Human IFN-Alpha All-Subtype TCM ELISA Kit, High Sensitivity (Cat. No. 41135-1).

 

*For global subtype detection, additional sensitivity, and complex biological matrices such as plasma and serum, we recommend our Human IFN-Alpha All-Subtype ELISA Kit, High Sensitivity (Cat. No. 41115-1).

Background

 

Interferons (IFNs) are a family of cytokines produced by macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells and other somatic cells in response to viruses and pathogens. Interferon Alpha (IFN-alpha), a type I interferon, was one of the first FDA-approved biotherapeutic treatments. Additionally, there is a growing amount of evidence suggesting IFN-alpha may be involved in certain autoimmune diseases such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Accurate and reproducible detection of IFN-alpha in human serum or plasma plays an important role in advancing immunological investigation and drug discovery.
