Species Reactivity | Rabbit, Human |
Basic Information | |
Specificity | This antibody binds human IL-8, which is a chemotactic factor that attracts neutrophils, basophils, and T-cells, but not monocytes. It is also involved in neutrophil activation. It is released from several cell types in response to an inflammatory stimulus. This antibody cross reacts with rabbit IL-8. |
Alternative Name | IL8; Interleukin-8; CXCL8; C-X-C motif chemokine 8; Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 8; Emoctakin; Granulocyte chemotactic protein 1; GCP-1; Monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor; MDNCF; Monocyte-derived neutrophil-activating peptide; MONAP; Neutrophil-activating protein 1; NAP-1; Protein 3-10C; T-cell chemotactic factor |
UniProt | P10145 |
Immunogen | The original antibody was generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with human IL-8. This reshaped WS-4 antibody was generated by grafting CDRs of mouse monoclonal antibody onto human framework regions. |
Application Notes | This antibody was used in the generation of a very sensitive ELISA for the detection of human IL-8 in various body fluids. The original mouse version of this antibody has a detection limit of 16 pg/ml in an ELISA. This antibody can bind both the 72 and 77 amino acid forms of IL-8 produced by cultured human cells and cell lines stimulated with IL-1 (PMID: 1593135). The neutralization activity of this antibody towards IL-8 was studied in a rabbit model of severe acute pancreatitis. It was reported that this antibody can reduce the acute lung injury, presumably through inhibition of circulating IL-8 and TNF-alpha, and CD11b/CD18 in lung tissue (PMID: 10189850). This antibody can neutralize rabbit IL-8 in vivo (PMID: 8347559). |
