Description & Advantages
Interleukin 2 (IL-2), also known as T cell growth factor (TCGF), is a 15 - 18 kDa variably glycosylated α-helical polypeptide that is a member of the Common gamma Chain (γc) cytokine family. It exists as a monomer and has a notably short half-life (< 30 min). Cells reported to secrete IL-2 include γδ T cells, activated conventional CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, neurons, microglia, and hematopoietic stem cells.
MCE HOLO Mouse Interleukin-2 (IL-2) Detection Kit is a homogeneous luminescence-based assay used for the quantitative detection of Mouse IL-2 concentrations in biological samples such as buffer solutions, cell culture supernatants, or serum.
The detection principle is as follows: Incubated the receptor beads (IL-2-specific antibody 1 cross-linked), IL-2-specific antibody 2 (biotin-labeled), and the sample to form a sandwich immune complex (antibody 1 - sample - antibody 2). The immune complex is then incubated with donor beads (streptavidin cross-linked) to form a chemiluminescent complex, ensuring that the distance between the two beads is less than 200 nm. When the distance between the two beads is less than 200 nm, the donor beads is excited by light (680 nm), producing singlet oxygen which diffuses to the receptor beads, inducing energy transfer. The receptor beads absorb this energy and emit scattering light at 615 nm. The light signal is collected by a photosensitive detector, and the concentration of IL-2 in the sample is calculated through mathematical fitting. In the absence of Mouse IL-2 in the sample, no immune complex is formed, or the distance between the two beads exceeds 200 nm, exceeding the transfer distance for singlet oxygen, and the receptor beads do not emit any light.
Features of MCE HOLO Mouse Interleukin-2 (IL-2) Detection Kit
1. Easy to Use: The experiment is simple and fast, requiring no washing or separation steps, and is compatible with automated instruments.
2. Wide Detection Range: The dynamic detection range is 0 - 30,000 pg/mL, and the linear detection range is 0.27 - 3,000 pg/mL.
3. High Sensitivity: Small sample volume, with high sensitivity and strong specificity, and capable high-throughput detection.
4. Compatibility: Suitable for natural samples such as cell culture supernatants, buffer solutions, and serum.
Protocol
If the IL-2 concentration of the sample exceeds the detection range of the kit, it is recommended to dilute the sample appropriately before testing.
1. Cell Culture Supernatant: Centrifuge the cell culture supernatant at 1,000 × g for 10 min and collect the supernatant.
Note: The cell culture medium should contain at least 1% FBS or 0.1% BSA.
2. Serum: Collect the serum sample following standard procedures.
Note: For serum samples, it is recommended to use a negative serum for reconstitution or dilution of the standard, where the IL-2 content in the negative serum should be lower than the detection blank limit (blank limit concentration is provided in the appendix).
Standard Preparation
Dissolve the IL-2 standard (lyophilized powder) in 50 μL of deionized water to prepare a stock solution of 0.3 μg/mL. Then, dilute the stock solution with dilution buffer to prepara a series of gradient concentrations.
Detection
1. Dual Antibody Premix Preparation: 20 μL A + 20 μL B, mix well for use.
Note: It is recommended to use the dual antibody premix within 1 h after preparation.
2. Immune Complex Preparation: Add 10 μL of standard/sample to the above antibody premix, and incubate at 37°C for 15 min or at room temperature for 60 min.
Note: During incubation, it is recommended to cover the microplate or seal it to prevent evaporation of liquid.
3. Luminescent Complex Preparation: In a green light or dark environment, add 50 μL of C to the above immune complex mixture, and incubate at 37°C for 10 min or at room temperature for 30 min.
Note: a. The temperatures of both incubation should be consistent.
b. Reagent C is light-sensitive. It is recommended to protect from light (light intensity <100 LUX) or perform the addition and incubation in a green light environment.
c. During incubation, it is recommended to cover the microplate or seal it to prevent evaporation of liquid.
4. Detection: Place the luminescent complex into a homogeneous luminescence instrument or a multifunctional microplate reader with an Alpha module for reading the RLU.
5. Standard Curve Plotting: Plot the standard curve with IL-2 concentration (pg/mL) on the x-axis and RLU on the y-axis.
Note: It is recommended to generate a new standard curve for each assay, and perform 2-3 replicate wells for each standard concentration.
6. Calculation: Use the standard curve to calculate the IL-2 concentration in the sample.
Storage
4°C, 1 year
