Product Summary for Human CXCL10/IP-10 Quantikine QuicKit ELISA

The Quantikine® QuicKit™ Human CXCL10/IP-10 Immunoassay is a one step, 80-minute solid phase ELISA designed to measure human IP-10 levels in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant human IP-10 and antibodies raised against the recombinant protein. Results obtained using natural human IP-10 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the QuicKit™ standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human IP-10.

Sample Values

Serum/Plasma - Samples from apparently healthy volunteers were evaluated for the presence of human IP-10 in this assay. No medical histories were available for the donors used in this study.

Sample TypeMean (pg/mL)Range (pg/mL)Standard Deviation
Serum (n=10)85.649.8-25062.0
EDTA plasma (n=10)99.460.4-20551.8
Heparin plasma (n=10)13783.9-28175.0

Cell Culture Supernates:
Human peripheral blood cells (PBMCs) (1 x 106 cells/mL) were cultured in RPMI supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin sulfate. Cells were left unstimulated or stimulated with 10 μg/mL PHA for 5 days. Aliquots of the cell culture supernates were removed, assayed for levels of human IP-10, and measured 12,555 pg/mL and 6570 pg/mL, respectively.

PBMCs were cultured in the medium as described above. Cells were left unstimulated or stimulated with 1 μg/mL LPS and 40 ng/mL of recombinant human IFN-gamma for 24 hours. Aliquots of the cell culture supernates were removed, assayed for levels of human IP-10, and measured 174 pg/mL and 958 pg/mL, respectively.

THP-1 human acute monocyte leukemia cells were left in RPMI supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 50 μM beta-mercaptoethanol, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin sulfate. Cells were left unstimulated or stimulated with 1 μg/mL of recombinant human IFN-gamma for 8 hours and then 1.0 μg/mL LPS was added. Cells were incubated for an additional 18 hours. Aliquots of the cell culture supernates were removed, assayed for levels of human IP-10, and measured 1172 pg/mL and 270,600 pg/mL, respectively. 

Precision

Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Two samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.

Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Two samples of known concentration were tested in ten separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.

Human IP-10 QuicKit Spiked Recovery Competitor Comparison

IP-10 is spiked at three known concentrations throughout the range of the assay and run to measure response of the spiked sample matrix. Plasma recovery is 95% compared to 49% for the top competitor. In spike and recovery experiments, natural samples are spiked with the recombinant target analyte of interest to identify interference caused by sample matrices.

Human IP-10 QuicKit Spiked Linearity Competitor Comparison

IP-10 is spiked at high concentration in various matrices and diluted with appropriate Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay. The linearity is between 99%-124% compared to 112%-183% for the top competitor.

Background: CXCL10/IP-10/CRG-2

CXCL10/IP-10 is an ELR- angiostatic chemokine that interacts with CXCR3 to attract Th1 cells, eosinophils, monocytes, and NK cells to sites of inflammation. It is upregulated by activated T lymphocytes, neutrophils, splenocytes, keratinocytes, osteoblasts, astrocytes, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and pancreatic beta cells. CXCL10 contributes to disease pathology in many chronic inflammatory disorders including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, cancer, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
