Product overview
Human IL-17A ELISA Kit (ab216167) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of IL-17A protein in cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human IL-17A with 1.1 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells stripsA 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Notes
IL-17A is a proinflammatory cytokine that is secreted by activated T cells. It is a disulfide-linked homodimer with both glycosylated and nonglycosylated forms. IL-17A induces stromal cells to produce proinflammatory and hematopoietic cytokines, and also enhances the surface expression of ICAM1/intracellular adhesion molecule 1 in fibroblasts.

SimpleStep ELISA technology allows the formation of the antibody-antigen complex in one single step, reducing assay time to 90 minutes. Add samples or standards and antibody mix to wells all at once, incubate, wash, and add your final substrate. See protocol for a detailed step-by-step guide.

Interpolated concentrations of native IL-17A in PHA-M stimulated and unstimulated human PBMC cell culture supernatant samples.
The concentrations of IL-17A were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the IL-17A standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: stimulated PBMC supernatant 10%, and unstimulated PBMC supernatant 100%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean IL-17A concentration was determined to be 542 pg/mL in neat PHA-M stimulated PBMC supernatant and 43.6 pg/mL in neat unstimulated PBMC supernatant.

The concentrations of IL-17A were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the IL-17A standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 50%, plasma (citrate) 50%, plasma (heparin) 50%, plasma (EDTA) 50%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2).

Human PBMC cells were cultured in the absence or presence of 1.5% PHA-M for 46 hours. The concentrations of IL-17A were measured in supernatant samples in 5 different dilutions in duplicates and interpolated from the IL-17 A standard curve. The interpolated values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=5). The mean IL-17 A concentration was determined to be 542 pg/mL in neat PHA-M stimulated PBMC cell supernatant, 43.6 pg/mL in neat unstimulated supernatants and undetectable in neat media (not shown).
