Background of IL-21

Interleukin-21 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL21 gene. Interleukin 21 is a cytokine that has potent regulatory effects on cells of the immune system, including natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T cells that can destroy virally infected or cancerous cells. By radiation hybrid analysis, the IL21 gene is mapped to chromosome 4q26-q27, near the IL2 gene. IL21 stimulates B-cell proliferation in an anti-CD40-dependent manner but inhibits proliferation stimulated by IL4 plus anti-IgM. The biologic effects of IL21 on NK cells differ between species, with human IL21 enhancing NK cell proliferation and murine IL21 inhibiting NK cell proliferation. IL21 is a cytokine highly expressed by mouse T (H)17 cells.

Recommended Sample Dilution Ratios

According to our internal validation assays using this ELISA kit, to detect IL-21, Dilution ratio of 1:1, concentration in serum and plasma is less than the lowest standard, 62.5 pg/ml..

Some articles we found to cite concentrations of IL-21 in samples: 25419350 (Pubmed IDs).

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency

We measured random samples of Mouse IL-21/Interleukin-21 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.

Question

Q: if the enzyme conjugated IL-21 antibodies are mixed with the substrate, will that change the substrate into the enzymatic reaction product? Or the enzyme function is only activated when the antibody is attached with the IL-21 antigen?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-04-06

Answer

A: The enzyme is always active. Avoid contaminating the substrate with enzyme prior to the incubation otherwise it compromises the assay with false positive signal.

Question

Q: how to thaw whole blood sample for IL-21 ELISA after freezing?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-03-17

Answer

A: do not freeze and thaw whole blood. erythrocytes are fragile and, if frozen and thawed, will undergo hemolysis rendering the samples useless. To keep your blood samples to test IL-21 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and collect the serum to freeze for later use.
