ResDetect™ Human Interleukin-15 (IL-15) ELISA Kit (Residue Testing)

Interleukin 15 is also known as IL15, IL-15, and is a cytokine with structural similarity to IL-2. Like IL-2, IL-15 binds to and signals through the IL-2/IL-15 beta chain (CD122) and the common gamma chain (gamma-C, CD132). IL-15 is secreted by mononuclear phagocytes (and some other cells) following infection by virus(es). This cytokine induces cell proliferation of natural killer cells; cells of the innate immune system whose principal role is to kill virally infected cells. Interleukin 15 (IL-15) regulates T and natural killer (NK) cell activation and proliferation. Survival signals that maintain memory T cells in the absence of antigen are provided by IL-15. This cytokine is also implicated in NK cell development. In rodent lymphocytes, IL-15 prevents apoptosis by inducing an apoptosis inhibitor, BCL2L1/BCL-x(L). IL-15 has been shown to enhance the anti-tumor immunity of CD8+ T cells in pre-clinical models. A phase I clinical trial to evaluate the safety, dosing, and anti-tumor efficacy of IL-15 in patients with metastatic melanoma and renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer) has begun to enroll patients at the National Institutes of Health.

The Human Interleukin-15 (IL-15) ELISA Kit (Residue Testing)was developed for the detection and quantitative determination of GMP human IL-15 in samples from CAR-T product preparation processing where IL-15 is used as an immunotherapy agent.

Unopened kit should be stored at 2°C -8°C upon receiving. Find the expiration date on the outside packaging and do not use reagents past their expiration date. The opened kit should be stored per components table. The shelf life is 30 days from the date of opening.

This assay kit employs a standard sandwich-ELISA format, providing a rapid detection of Human IL-15. The kit consists of Pre-coated Anti-IL-15 Antibody Microplate and Human IL-15 Standard and Biotin-Anti-IL-15 Antibody and Streptavidin-HRP and buffers.
