This ELISA kit provides quantitative measurement of CXCL5 (ENA-78) in human samples, supporting research into neutrophil recruitment and CXC chemokine signaling in inflammatory and tumor microenvironments. Because CXCL5 levels can vary dramatically between healthy baseline and active inflammatory or tumorigenic states, the kit is designed to capture this biologically meaningful dynamic range without excessive sample manipulation.
Detection Range: The 47–3000 pg/mL range spans from low baseline circulating CXCL5 concentrations in healthy plasma to the elevated levels observed in sepsis, COPD exacerbations, and tumor-associated angiogenesis, minimizing the need for serial dilutions in most inflammatory disease samples.
Sensitivity: At 23.5 pg/mL, the kit detects CXCL5 in conditions where expression is modest, such as early-stage tumor stroma or resting endothelial cell supernatants, where neutrophil-recruiting chemokine gradients are just forming.
Sample Compatibility: Validation across serum, plasma, and tissue homogenates enables researchers to correlate systemic CXCL5 levels with local tissue expression — critical for studies dissecting neutrophil infiltration into tumor or inflamed tissue compartments.
Assay Efficiency: The 1–5 hour protocol using 50–100 µL accommodates limited clinical specimens, such as serial plasma draws from patients, and small tissue biopsies where homogenate volume is constrained.
This kit is well-suited for studies in tumor-associated neutrophil biology, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and obesity-linked adipose tissue inflammation.
