Description

A member of the type I interferon family of glycoprotein second messengers, human Interferon Beta (IFN-ß1) has been associated with antiviral activity as a secreted factor from infected cells that mediates innate immunity in neighboring cells. In addition, IFN-beta1 has also been utilized as treatment for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) due to its ability to ameliorate inflammation in the central nervous system in this disease.The SMC(R) Human IFN-beta1 High Sensitivity 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 Erenna and SMCxPRO(R) immunoassay systems detect analytes using Single Molecule Counting (SMC(R)) technology.
