Porcine IL-2 ELISA kits

Pick the right ELISA kit for Porcine IL-2. Our kits differ in how you develop the signal – this page explains what those differences mean.

IL-2 ELISA kits are also available for ferret, human, monkey, and mouse.

What differs between these kits

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

About IL-2

These Porcine IL-2 ELISA kits target IL2 (Sus scrofa, Gene ID 396868).

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.

ELISA kit with HRP or ALP – what to choose?

You are interested in one of our ELISA Flex kits but wondering whether to choose the kit based on ALP or HRP? It’s a matter of taste, but we'd say HRP is mainly used for the colorimetric reaction. Find out why.
