Human IL-2 ELISA kits
Pick the right ELISA kit for Human IL-2. Our kits differ in what we put in the box and how you develop the signal – this page explains what those differences mean.
IL-2 ELISA kits are also available for ferret, monkey, mouse, and porcine.
What differs between these kits
Whether a pre-coated plate is included
Some of our kits arrive with the plate already coated with the capture antibody, so you can start with your samples. Others supply the antibodies and standard only. Coating your own plate is more work, and it gives you control over the coating conditions and the plate.
Which detection system
Available with Streptavidin-ALP or Streptavidin-HRP. You add the streptavidin conjugate as a second incubation after the biotinylated antibody, which amplifies the signal. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) perform equivalently, so that choice usually comes down to the substrate and reader you already work with.
Supplied without a plate, streptavidin conjugate
With a pre-coated strip plate, streptavidin conjugate, 1 plate
With a pre-coated strip plate, streptavidin conjugate, 2 plates
With a pre-coated strip plate, streptavidin conjugate, 10 plates
About IL-2
These Human IL-2 ELISA kits target IL2 (Homo sapiens, Gene ID 3558).
Interleukin 2 (IL-2) is predominantly produced by activated T cells. IL-2 promotes the proliferation, differentiation, and survival of antigen-activated T cells and NK cells. After antigen stimulation, the cytokine also promotes the differentiation of T cells into effector and memory T cells. Therefore IL-2 plays an important role in the body's response to infection. IL-2 is also key to tolerance, as it promotes the differentiation of certain immature T cells into regulatory T cells in the thymus, ultimately preventing autoimmune diseases.
