Characterization

Description(s):

Cytokines are signaling molecules that have critical roles in many biological processes such as cellular growth, differentiation, gene expression, migration, immunity, and inflammation. Cytokines are secreted from cells and bound to cell-surface receptors, which initiate the activation of signal transduction pathways and mediate cell to cell communication. The malfunction of cytokines leads to many diseases, including arthritis, acute and chronic liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease, cardiac-related diseases, and cancers. A group of cytokines commonly involves in one biological or disease process. Therefore, the comprehensive analysis of the expression of multiple cytokines allows revealing the underneath mechanism of the disease state effectively. The Rat Cytokine ELISA Plate Array allows you to monitor the abundance of 16 rat cytokines in a high-throughput manner. This assay is a fast and sensitive tool for quantitatively profiling the levels of multiple cytokines between samples simultaneously.

Rat is the most chosen animal model for biomedical research of human disease due to a few reasons; physiologically closer to humans, larger sample volumes, easier surgeries, and faster to generate. Signosis provide Rat Cytokine ELISA Array for analyzing 16 most common rat cytokine expression in rat tissue, serum, plasma, cell culture medium, and cell lysate. The procedure is simple so that you can successfully conduct the assay at the first trial. We have Colorimetric and Chemiluminescence detection methods for your selection.

Principle

The 96-well white plate is divided into 2 sections, and each section has 6 strips for one sample. In each section, 16 of specific cytokine capture antibodies are coated on 16 wells respectively, and one well without coating any antibody is used as a blank well.  The sample, such as cell culture supernatants, cell lysates, tissue homogenates, serum, or plasma samples is incubated with cytokine ELISA plate, and the captured cytokine proteins are subsequently detected with a cocktail of biotinylated detection antibodies. The test sample is allowed to react with pairs of two antibodies, resulting in the cytokines being sandwiched between the solid phase and enzyme-linked antibodies. After incubation, the wells are washed to remove unbound-labeled antibodies. The plate is further detected with HRP luminescent substrate. Luminescence is reported as relative light units (RLUs) on a microplate luminometer. The level of expression for each specific cytokine is directly proportional to the luminescent intensity.

Analysis of Cytokine Protein Expression in TNFa-Treated and Untreated with Rat Cytokine ELISA Plate Array. CWSV-1 Rat liver cells were starved for 24 hours with serum-free medium, subsequently treated the cells with and without 20ng/ul TNF for 16 hours. The serum-free conditioned media were incubated on the plate for 1 hour. After incubating with detection antibody mix and HRP, the plate was detected with chemilumincent substrate by a plate reader.
