The SMC(R) Mouse IL-10 Discovery Immunoassay Kit contains all reagents required to perform the assay. This assay takes advantage of a standard immunoassay workflow configured in a standard plate format. Assay protocols are similar to existing sandwich ELISA methods with two key differences: 1) Elution buffer disrupts the sandwich, separating the labeled detection antibody for quantification. 2) The SMC(R) immunoassay system detects analytes using Single Molecule Counting (SMC(R)) technology., Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a cytokine with both stimulatory and suppressive effects on the immune system. The protein originates from several cell lines, including Th2 cells, mast cells, macrophages, monocytes and B-cells. Its main functions are to impede inflammatory responses and to inhibit synthesis of other pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-2, IL-3, GM-CSF, IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha. Besides its anti-inflammatory capabilities, IL-10 also regulates the production of natural killer cells and lymphocytes. Due to its multiple roles, proper function of IL-10 is required to maintain a healthy immune system. Improper function of IL-10 can result in disease development, as over expression of IL-10 has been linked to lymphoma, whereas IL-10 deficiency has implications for Crohn's disease.
