Product Summary
Sample Values
Serum/Plasma - Forty serum and plasma samples from apparently healthy volunteers were evaluated for the presence of human IL-10 in this assay. All samples measured less than the lowest standard, 7.8 pg/mL. No medical histories were available for the donors used in this study.Condition | Day 1 (pg/mL) | Day 3 (pg/mL) | Day 5 (pg/mL) |
Unstimulated | 98 | 134 | 127 |
Stimulated | 2756 | 3563 | 2255 |
Recovery
The recovery of human IL-10 spiked to three levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.

Assay Procedure
Refer to the product- Prepare all reagents, working standards, and samples as directed in the product insert.
- Remove excess microplate strips from the plate frame, return them to the foil pouch containing the desiccant pack, and reseal.
- For Serum & Plasma Samples Only: Add 50 µL of Assay Diluent to each well.
- Add 200 µL of Standard, control, or sample to each well. Cover with a plate sealer, and incubate at room temperature for 2 hours.
- Aspirate each well and wash, repeating the process 3 times for a total of 4 washes.
- Add 200 µL of Conjugate to each well, and cover with a new plate sealer.
- For Serum & Plasma Samples: Incubate at room temperature for 2 hours.
For Cell Culture Supernate Samples: Incubate at room temperature for 1 hour. - Aspirate and wash 4 times.
- Add 200 µL Substrate Solution to each well. PROTECT FROM LIGHT.
- For Serum & Plasma Samples: Incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
For Cell Culture Supernate Samples: Incubate at room temperature for 20 minutes. - Add 50 µL of Stop Solution to each well. Read at 450 nm within 30 minutes. Set wavelength correction to 540 nm or 570 nm.





Human IL-10 Quantikine ELISA Kit Summary

Background: IL-10
Interleukin-10 (IL-10), also known as cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor (CSIF), is the charter member of the IL-10 alpha -helical cytokine family that also includes IL-19, IL-20, IL-22, IL-24, and IL-26/AK155 (1-3). IL-10 is secreted by many activated hematopoietic cell types as well as hepatic stellate cells, keratinocytes, and placental cytotrophoblasts. Whereas human IL-10 is active on mouse cells, mouse IL-10 does not act on human cells (4, 5). Mature human IL-10 shares 86% amino acid sequence identity with equine IL-10 and 72% - 80% with bovine, canine, feline, guinea pig, mouse, ovine, porcine, and rat IL-10. It contains two intrachain disulfide bridges and is expressed as a 36 kDa noncovalently-associated homodimer (4, 6, 7).
