Human Interferon Alpha-5 (IFNA5) ELISA Kit

Human Interferon Alpha-5 (IFNA5) ELISA Kit

This ELISA kit is designed to detect Human Interferon Alpha-5 (Human IFNA5). The assay plate has been pre-coated with mouse anti-Human interferon-alpha monoclonal antibody. When the sample containing interferon-alpha is added to the plate, it binds to the antibodies coated on the wells. Then, a horseradish peroxidase conjugated mouse anti-Human interferon-alpha Antibody is added to the wells and binds to interferon-alpha in the sample. After washing the wells, substrate solutions are added, and the color intensity is directly proportional to the amount of Human interferon-alpha present. The reaction is stopped by adding an acidic stop solution, and the absorbance is measured at 450 nm.

Background Interferon, alpha 5 (IFNA5) belongs to the alpha/beta interferon family. IFNA5 is the only IFNA subtype detected in normal liver, while a mixture of subtypes is observed in the liver tissue of patients with chronic hepatitis C. Interferons are produced by macrophages, IFN-alpha has antiviral activities. Interferon stimulates the production of two enzymes: a protein kinase and an oligoadenylate synthetase. IFN-alpha, the first cytokine to be produced by recombinant DNA technology, has emerged as an important regulator of growth and differentiation, affecting cellular communication and signal transduction pathways as well as immunological control. Originally discovered as an antiviral substance, the efficacy of IFN-alpha in malignant, viral, immunological, angiogenic, inflammatory, and fibrotic diseases suggests a spectrum of interrelated pathophysiologies. IFN-alpha emerged as a prototypic tumor suppressor protein that represses the clinical tumorigenic phenotype in some malignancies capable of differentiation.
