Product Summary
The Quantikine Human IL-8 Immunoassay is a 3.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure human IL-8 in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It is based on antibodies raised against the 72 aa variant of human IL-8 derived from E. coli. It is calibrated with the same recombinant factor. This immunoassay accurately quantitates recombinant human IL-8. Measurement of natural human IL-8 or the 77 aa variant of human IL-8 gave results parallel to the standard curves obtained using the E. coli-expressed Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human 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) hree samples of known concentration were tested in separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.

Recovery
The recovery of IL-8 spiked to three different levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.
| Sample Type | Average % Recovery | Range % |
| Cell Culture Media (n=5) | 98 | 85-114 |
| Citrate Plasma (n=5) | 105 | 95-114 |
| EDTA Plasma (n=5) | 103 | 97-111 |
| Heparin Plasma (n=5) | 102 | 92-107 |
| Serum (n=5) | 98 | 88-106 |
Linearity
To assess the linearity of the assay, samples were spiked with high concentrations of IL-8 in various matrices and diluted with the appropriate Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.
Preparation and Storage
Background: IL-8/CXCL8
Interleukin-8 (IL-8), also known as CXCL8, is a chemokine that is upregulated at sites of inflammation where it promotes neutrophil infiltration and activation. IL-8 can form homodimers and heterodimers with CXCL4/PF4. Its bioactivity is regulated by proteolytic truncations, citrullination, and the decoy receptor DARC. IL-8 signals through CXCR1/IL-8 RA, which is also used by CXCL6, and through CXCR2/IL-8 RB, which is used by multiple CXC chemokines. IL-8 also binds to Serpin A1/alpha-1 Antitrypsin which prevents IL-8 interaction with CXCR1.
