CXCL8 was originally discovered and purified as a neutrophil chemotactic and activating factor. It was also referred to as neutrophil chemotactic factor (NCF), neutrophil activating protein (NAP), monocytederived neutrophil chemotactic factor (MDNCF), T lymphocyte chemotactic factor (TCF), granulocyte chemotactic protein (GCP) and leukocyte adhesion inhibitor (LAI). Many cell types, including monocyte/macrophages, T cells, neutrophils, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, keratinocytes, hepatocytes, chondrocytes, and various tumor cell lines, can produce CXCL8 in response to a wide variety of proinflammatory stimuli such as exposure to IL-1, TNF, LPS, and viruses. CXCL8 is a member of the alpha (CXC) subfamily of chemokines, which also includes platelet factor-4, GRO, and IP10.
CXCL8 is a potent chemoattractant for neutrophils. In addition, CXCL8 also has a wide range of other proinflammatory effects. CXCL8 causes degranulation of neutrophil specific granules and azurophilic granules. CXCL8 induces expression of the cell adhesion molecules CD11/CD18 and enhances the adherence of neutrophils to endothelial cells and subendothelial matrix proteins. Besides neutrophils, CXCL8 is also chemotactic for basophils, T cells and eosinophils. CXCL8 has been reported to be a co-mitogen for keratinocytes and was also shown to be an autocrine growth factor for melanoma cells. CXCL8 was also reported to be angiogenic both in vivo and in vitro.

Product Summary:
The Quantikine Porcine IL-8 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure porcine IL-8 in cell culture supernates and serum. It utilizes E. coli-expressed recombinant porcine IL-8 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to accurately measure or quantify the recombinant porcine IL-8. Results obtained using natural porcine IL-8 show dose response curves that are parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural porcine IL-8.
Precision:
Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay)Three samples of known concentration were tested on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays)Three samples of known concentration were tested in separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.

Linearity:
To assess the linearity of the assay, five or more samples containing and/or spiked with various concentrations of porcine IL-8 in each matrix were diluted with Calibrator Diluent and then assayed.
