Interleukin-5 (IL-5) is produced by activated CD4+ TH2-type cells, NK cells, mast cells and B cells. It specifically controls the production, activation, and localization of eosinophils.
All kits include a recombinant cytokine standard calibrated against an international standard (NIBSC).
Cross-reactivity has been assessed and confirmed with certain non-human primate species.
ELISA kit for quantitative determination of native and recombinant human IL-5 in biological fluids such as serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants. The kit contains capture mAb, biotinylated detection mAb, streptavidin-enzyme conjugate ALP and a cytokine standard. The determination of IL-5 in human serum/plasma samples by this kit requires the use of ELISA diluent (code: 3652-D2) for dilution of samples, standard and detection antibody.
