IL-21 ELISpot kits
We make ELISpot kits for IL-21 in human. This page explains how they differ, so you can pick the one your experiment needs.
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.
About IL-21
Interleukin 21 (IL-21) is primarily secreted by CD4 T cells (particularly follicular T cells and Th17) and is an important regulator of immune responses. For Th17 cells, IL-21 is an autocrine regulator sustaining Th17 development. IL-21 also regulates the development of other T cells as well as B cells, NK cells, and dendritic cells. Areas of particular interest for research on IL-21 include autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, cancer research, and basic studies on, e.g., B cells and T cells, especially on Th17 cells.
