Product details

ProductELISpot Plus: Human IFN-α (ALP)
ApplicationELISpot
AnalyteIFN-α pan
ReactivityHuman, Non-human primates
SpecificityThis kit is based on a matched pair of mAbs enabling specific detection of human IFN-α. Subtypes 1/13, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 14, 16, and 17 are detected.
Cross-reactivityThe mAbs cross-react with IFN-α from non-human primates (NHP). For more information please check the Cross-reactivity guide section below.

Shipping and Storage

ShippingShipped at ambient temperature.
StorageStore antibodies, enzyme conjugate, and substrate at 4-8 °C upon receipt. Plates may be kept at room temperature.
Shelf lifeAt least 18 months from date of receipt.
PBMC (250,000 cells/well) were incubated for 20 h in the absence or presence of R848 and the number of cells secreting IFN-α was analyzed by ELISpot.

The systems reactive with NHPs are either based on cross-reactive human kits or specifically developed monkey kits (NHP).

Cross-reactivity verification tests have been performed in ELISpot and/or ELISA by Mabtech and/or by others. Evaluations of assays with less solid evidence of cross-reactivity are shown as symbols within parentheses.

IFN-α pan

Analyte description

Interferon-α and interferon-β are type I interferons. These antiviral cytokines are mainly produced by virus-infected cells after sensing the presence of danger signals such as viral DNA or RNA. IFN-α and IFN-β act through the same receptor and initiate an anti-viral response, affect immune regulation, T cell responses, and also anti-tumor effects have been shown. A key producer of type I interferons is the plasmacytoid dendritic cell. Additionally, IFN-α is secreted by lymphocytes, macrophages, fibroblasts, and dendritic cells. 

In humans, interferon-α has 13 subtypes: IFN-α 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 13, 14, 16, 17, and 21.

In mice, there are 14 IFN-α subtypes: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6T, 7/10, 8/6, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 (A), and B. There are also different allelic forms of mouse IFN-α subtypes 1, 7/10, 8/6, and 11 in mouse strains 129/Sv and C57BL/6.
