Interleukin-17A/F (IL-17A/F) is a heterodimeric cytokine that plays a crucial role in the immune system. It is a key mediator in various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
Also Known As: IL-17A/F is also referred to as IL-17AF or IL-17A/F heterodimer. It is a member of the IL-17 family, which includes IL-17A, IL-17B, IL-17C, IL-17D, IL-17E, and IL-17F.
Discovery and Research: IL-17A/F was discovered in the context of studying immune responses. It has been extensively researched for its role in promoting inflammation and immune cell activation.
Biological Functions: IL-17A/F is involved in the regulation of immune responses against pathogens and in the pathogenesis of several chronic inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease.
High Specificity: The Human IL-17A/F ELISA Kit is designed to specifically recognize both natural and recombinant human IL-17A/F, ensuring accurate detection.
No Cross-Reaction: It shows no cross-reaction with other related cytokines such as IL-17A, IL-17B, IL-17D, IL-17E, IFN-g, Gal-1, and IL-33, which enhances the reliability of the results.
Immediate Detection: This kit allows for immediate in vitro detection of human IL-17A/F, providing quick and efficient results for researchers and clinicians.
Stable Storage: The kit can be stored at 4°C, ensuring stability and usability over time without the need for complex storage conditions.
Sensitive Detection: The kit is highly sensitive, allowing for the detection of low levels of IL-17A/F in samples, which is essential for early diagnosis and research.
User-Friendly: The kit is easy to use, with a straightforward protocol that can be followed by researchers and technicians with minimal training.
Wide Application: It is suitable for a variety of applications, including research into inflammatory diseases, drug development, and clinical diagnostics.
Cost-Effective: The kit provides a cost-effective solution for the detection of IL-17A/F, making it accessible for both large-scale research and smaller studies.
