Principle of the assay: This kit was based on sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. Anti-IL-3 polyclonal antibody was pre-coated onto 96-well plates. And the biotin conjugated anti-IL-3 polyclonal antibody was used as detection antibodies. The standards, test samples and biotin conjugated detection antibody were added to the wells subsequently, and wash with wash buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with wash buffer. TMB substrates were used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the IL-3 amount of sample captured in plate. Read the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microplate reader, and then the concentration of IL-3 can be calculated.
Background: Interleukin 3 (IL-3) is a hematopoietic colony-stimulating factor that is capable of supporting the proliferation of a broad range of hematopoietic cell types. It is chemically synthesized by means of an automated peptide synthesizer and is shown to have the biological activities attributed to native IL-3. It is secreted by basophils and activated T cells to support growth and differentiation of T cells from the bone marrow in an immune response. It can improve the body's natural response to disease as part of the immune system. It acts by binding to the interleukin-3 receptor. IL3 infusion expands an early cell population that subsequently requires the action of a later-acting factor such as GMCSF to complete its development.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a potent growth promoting cytokine. This cytokine is capable of supporting the proliferation of a broad range of hematopoietic cell types. It is involved in a variety of cell activities such as cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis. This cytokine has been shown to also possess neurotrophic activity, and it may be associated with neurologic disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
Function: Granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factors are cytokines that act in hematopoiesis by controlling the production, differentiation, and function of 2 related white cell populations of the blood, the granulocytes and the monocytes-macrophages.This CSF induces granulocytes, macrophages, mast cells, stem cells, erythroid cells, eosinophils and megakaryocytes.
Subunit structure: Monomer.
Subcellular location: Secreted.
Tissue specificity: Activated T-cells, mast cells, natural killer cells.
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the IL-3 family.

Product Notes
The Human IL-3 il3 (Catalog #AAA355387) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA355387 ELISA Kit recognizes Human IL-3. AAA Biotech's IL-3 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Quantitative sELISA (EIA). For quantitative detection of IL-3 in human serum, body fluids, tissue lysate or cell culture supernate. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the IL-3 il3 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "IL-3, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
