This ELISA kit provides quantitative measurement of interleukin-10 (IL-10) in porcine samples, supporting immunological research where IL-10 serves as a critical anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive cytokine. Because porcine IL-10 levels can shift dramatically between baseline immunosuppressive signaling and acute inflammatory responses such as PRRSV infection or LPS challenge, precise quantification across this dynamic range is essential.
Detection Range: The 7.8–500 pg/mL range captures both constitutive IL-10 production in healthy porcine serum and the elevated concentrations observed during active immune suppression or post-infection cytokine storms, minimizing the need for serial dilutions in most in vivo challenge studies.
Sensitivity: At 3.9 pg/mL, the kit detects the low basal IL-10 levels characteristic of unstimulated porcine plasma and early-phase immune responses, where IL-10 upregulation may be subtle yet biologically decisive in polarizing macrophage phenotype.
Sample Compatibility: Validation across serum, plasma, and tissue homogenates enables researchers to correlate systemic circulating IL-10 with localized immunosuppressive microenvironments in gut, lung, or lymph node tissue — critical for mucosal immunology and transplant tolerance studies in the pig model.
Assay Efficiency: The 50–100 µL sample volume and 1–5 hour protocol accommodate limited-volume piglet bleeds and multi-cytokine panel designs common in vaccination time-course experiments.
This kit is particularly suited for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome research, swine vaccine development, and gut-associated immune tolerance studies.
