Interleukin 5 is a cytokine that regulates eosinophil development, activation, and survival. As a member of the type I cytokine family, IL-5 is primarily produced by T helper 2 cells, mast cells, and eosinophils themselves. This glycoprotein acts as a key mediator in allergic inflammatory responses and parasitic infections. It promotes eosinophil differentiation from bone marrow precursors and enhances their recruitment to sites of inflammation. IL-5 signaling is particularly important in asthma, allergic rhinitis, and other eosinophil-associated disorders, making it a significant target for therapeutic intervention and biomarker research.
The Rat Interleukin 5,IL-5 ELISA KIT (CSB-E07435r) is designed for quantitative measurement of IL-5 in rat samples using a sandwich assay principle. This kit works with various sample types including serum, plasma, cell culture supernates, and tissue homogenates with a sample volume requirement of 50-100ul. The assay provides a detection range of 15.6 pg/mL to 1000 pg/mL with a sensitivity of 3.9 pg/mL. Results are measured at 450 nm wavelength. The complete assay can be performed within 1-5 hours.
