Product overview
Human IL-3 ELISA Kit (ab215088) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of IL-3 protein in cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, plasma, serum, urine, and cell culture supernatant. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human IL-3 with 6.7 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
Interleukin 3 (IL-3) is a secreted 133 amino acids long, glycosylated interleukin coded by the IL-3 gene. Previous names reported for IL-3 are Hematopoietic growth factor, Mast cell growth factor, multipotenial colony-stimulating factor, and P-cell-stimulating factor. IL-3 has been found to stimulate a variety of cell activities such as; proliferation, differentiation, survival of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells, and may be associated with neurologic disorders. IL-3 is expressed by activated T-cells, mast cells, and natural killer cells. IL-3 performs its biological action by binding to a transmembrane receptor complex consisting of IL-3RA, also known as CD123, and a signal inducing beta subunit, which also acts as a receptor for colony stimulating factor 2 and Interleukin 5.

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. -
Tissue specificity
Activated T-cells, mast cells, natural killer cells. -

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.

Human PBMCs were cultured in RPMI supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 2mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 µg/mL streptomycin. Cells were cultured for 2 days at 37°C in the presence or absence of PHAM. The concentrations of IL-3 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the IL-3 standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: stimulated supernatant 100% and unstimulated supernatant 100%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean (IL-3 concentration was determined to be 662 pg/mL in 100% stimulated supernatant, and 9.5 pg/mL in 100% unstimulated supernatant.

The concentrations of IL-3 were measured in duplicate and interpolated from the IL-3 standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 100%, plasma (citrate) 50%, plasma (EDTA) 50%, plasma (Heparin) 50%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2).
