Lumit® IL-8 (Human) Immunoassay

Quantify IL-8 Release Without Tedious Wash Steps

IL-8 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine released by various immune cells to recruit other immune cells, especially neutrophils, to an injured or infected site. The primary functions of IL-8 are to serve as a chemoattractant to guide cells toward an inflammation site, activate other immune cells and stimulate the formation of new blood vessels. Dysregulated IL-8 levels and chronic inflammation have been associated with rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The Lumit® IL-8 Immunoassay quantitatively measures IL-8 secretion in cell culture samples using a simple, no-wash protocol. Just add labeled antibodies to the sample, add detection reagent and read luminescent signal using a standard plate-reading luminometer. The entire protocol is completed in less than 70 minutes! The assay can be used directly on cells in culture or culture medium transferred to a separate assay plate.

How the Lumit® IL-8 Immunoassay Works

Primary antibodies to IL-8 were selected for their specific and sensitive detection and labeled with the LgBiT and SmBiT subunits of NanoBiT® Luciferase. In the presence of IL-8, the subunits are brought together to form an active luciferase enzyme. Addition of optimized substrate generates a bright luminescent signal proportional to IL-8 levels. The assay is specific to IL-8 and detects both 72 and 77 amino acid major isoforms.

Featured Webinar

Optimizing the Lumit® IL-6 Immunoassay for High-Throughput Drug Screening

In this webinar, we share key considerations for scaling Lumit® Immunoassays from a single 96-well plate to many 364-well plates and offer tips for optimizing Lumit® Immunoassays for HTS applications. You will also hear Galapagos scientist Dr. Nick Verstraeten share how his team used the Lumit® IL-6 Immunoassay in a screening campaign for antiviral drugs.
