Analysis of IL-9 (Mouse) by ELISA (CAT#: STEM-MB-1003-LGZ)

Introduction

Interleukin 9, also known as IL-9, is a pleiotropic cytokine (cell signalling molecule) belonging to the group of interleukins. IL-9 is produced by variety of cells like mast cells, NKT cells, Th2, Th17, Treg, ILC2, and Th9 cells in different amounts. Among them, Th9 cells are regarded as the major CD4+ T cells that produce IL-9.<br />The immunobiological function of IL-9 is bidirectional, that is, it can not only promote the occurrence and development of some diseases, but also inhibit the development of some diseases. Current studies believe that in hypersensitivity and autoimmune diseases, IL-9 is a pathogenic factor; while in parasitic infection and skin transplantation, IL-9 can promote the body's elimination of pathogens and the formation of graft immune tolerance.




Principle

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is an enzyme-labeled solid phase immunoassay technique. Its basic principle is to bind the antigen (or antibody) to the solid phase carrier, and the antigen (or antibody) and a certain enzyme link to enzyme labeled antigen (or antibody). During detection, the sample to be tested and the enzymic antigen (or antibody) react with the antigen (or antibody) on the solid phase carrier according to certain procedures, and then remove the unreacted part by washing method. After adding the substrate, the substrate is catalyzed by the enzyme on the solid phase carrier to produce colored substances. Through qualitative or quantitative detection of the amount of colored products, the content of the substance to be measured in the sample can be determined.
