Immunogen
Recombinant ovine IL-8
Application
Anti-Interleukin-8 Antibody detects level of Interleukin-8 & has been published & validated for use in ELISA.
Detecting antibody in ELISA, using monoclonal anti-ovine IL-8 as capture antibody. Recommended dilution factor 1:500. See suggested protocol.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
Suggested ELISA Protocol For Ovine IL-8
1. Coat high capacity microtiter wells (e.g. Nunc maxisorp) with monoclonal anti-IL-8 antibody (Chemicon Catalog Number MAB1044) at a concentration of 5 μg/mL in 0.1 M carbonate buffer pH 9.6 overnight at 4ºC.
2. Wash wells 3 x with PBS + 0.05% Tween 20 (PBST).
3. Add samples to wells. Incubate at room temperature in a humidified box for 1 hour. Wash 3 x with PBST.
4. Dilute rabbit anti-IL-8 (Chemicon Catalog Number AB1840) 1:500 in PBST and add 100 μL to wells. Incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes. Wash 3 x with PBST.
5. Dilute anti-rabbit IgG-HRP to appropriate level in PBST and add 100 μL to wells. Incubate 30 minutes at room temperature. Wash 3 x with PBST.
6. Add 100 μL of TMB chromagen to each well. Incubate for 5-10 minutes and stop reaction with 50 μL of 2M sulfuric acid.
Notes:
The anti-rabbit IgG HRP must be adsorbed against mouse immunoglobulin, and should be checked for non-reactivity with coated plates.
Non-specific binding may be reduced by addition of protein such as skim milk powder to the diluents.
Assay sensitivity may be altered by adjusting incubation times and reagent concentrations.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

High unintended pregnancy rates are partially due to lack of effective nonhormonal contraceptives; development of safe, effective topical vaginal methods will address this need. Preclinical product safety and efficacy assessment requires in vivo testing in appropriate models. The sheep is

We tested the hypothesis that interleukin 1 (IL-1) mediates intra-amniotic lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced chorioamnionitis in preterm fetal sheep. Time-mated Merino ewes with singleton fetuses received IL-1α, LPS, or saline (control) by intra-amniotic injection 1 to 2 days before operative delivery at

Histologic chorioamnionitis, frequently associated with preterm births and adverse outcomes, results in prolonged exposure of preterm fetuses to infectious agents and pro-inflammatory mediators, such as LPS. Endotoxin tolerance-type effects were demonstrated in fetal sheep following repetitive systemic or intra-amniotic (i.a.)
Selective exposure of the fetal lung and skin/amnion (but not gastro-intestinal tract) to LPS elicits acute systemic inflammation in fetal sheep.
