Background of IL-18/IL-1F4
Interleukin(IL)-18, also called Interferon-gamma-inducing factor(IGIF), augments natural killer(NK) activity in spleen cells. The gene encodes a precursor protein of 192 amino acids and a mature protein of 157 amino acids.1 IL-18 is a recently discovered cytokine that modulates both T helper type 1(Th1) and Th2 responses.2 IL-18 is a potent proinflammatory cytokine with potential atherogenic properties. It is highly expressed in the atherosclerotic plaques compared with control normal arteries and is localized mainly in plaque macrophages.3

Recommended Sample Dilution Ratios
According to our internal validation assays using this ELISA kit, to detect IL-18/IL-1F4, Dilution ratio of 1:1, concentration in serum and plasma is less than the lowest standard, 31.2 pg/ml.
Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Mouse IL-18 ELISA Kit PicoKine® within the same batch/lot to ensure the consistency of the kits' performances. ELISA intra assay consistency is measured using wells from the same plate/assay kit. ELISA inter assay consistency is measured using wells from different plates from the same batch production/lot.
