Description

The Mouse Th1/Th2/Th17 Cytokine Standards contains a mixture of individually lyophilized recombinant proteins made up of recombinant Mouse Interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A, Interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF). The reconstituted Mouse Th1/Th2/Th17 Cytokine Standards are designed for use as standard controls with the BD™ Cytometric Bead Array (CBA) Mouse Th1/Th2/TH17 Cytokine Kit (Cat. No. 560485). Please refer to the manual included with the BD™ Cytometric Bead Array (CBA) Mouse Th1/Th2/TH17 Cytokine Kit for further information.



Preparation And Storage

Store the lyophilized standard at 4°C prior to reconstitution.

Lyospheres from 1 vial of the Mouse Th1/Th2/Th17 Cytokine Standard, when reconstituted in 2.0 mL Assay Diluent, approximates the CBA activity of Mouse IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A, Interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) at a concentration of 5000 pg/mL. Following reconstitution, maintain the Mouse Th1/Th2/Th17 Cytokine Standard at 4°C and use within 12 hours. Any unused reconstituted standard must be discarded after this period (do not store or reuse).

Recommended Assay Procedures

The Mouse Th1/Th2/Th17 Cytokine Standard has been tested with BD™ Cytometric Bead Array (CBA) Mouse Th1/Th2/Th17 Cytokine Kit (Cat. No. 560485) to assure function as a standard in the CBA assay.  Investigators are encouraged to refer to the CBA kit manual or to the brief instructions below (Preparation of Mouse Th1/Th2/Th17 Cytokine Standard Protocol).  The Mouse Th1/Th2/Th17 Cytokine Standard should be reconstituted using Assay Diluent supplied with the aforementioned CBA kit (component no. 51-2432KC) or it may be purchased separately (Cat. No. 560104).

Preparation of Mouse Th1/Th2/Th17 Cytokine Standard:  The Mouse Th1/Th2/Th17 Cytokine Standard is lyophilized and should be reconstituted and serially diluted before mixing with CBA capture beads and PE detection reagents.

1. Open one vial of the lyophilized Mouse Th1/Th2/Th17 Cytokine Standard. Transfer all the lyospheres to a 15 mL polypropylene tube (BD Falcon™, Cat. No. 352097). Label the tube "Top Standard".

2. Reconstitute the standard with 2.0 mL of Assay Diluent. Allow the reconstituted standard to equilibrate for at least 15 minutes before making dilutions. Mix the reconstituted protein by pipette only. Do not vortex or mix vigorously.

3. Label additional 12 x 75 mm tubes (BD Falcon™, Cat. No. 352008) and arrange them in the following order: Top Standard, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16, 1:32, 1:64, 1:128, and 1:256.

4. Add 300 µl of Assay Diluent to each of the dilution tubes.

5. Perform a serial dilution by transferring 300 µl from the Top Standard to the 1:2 dilution tube and mix thoroughly. Do not vortex, mix by pipet only. Continue making serial dilutions by transferring 300 µl from the 1:2 tube to the 1:4 tube and so on to the 1:256 tube and mix thoroughly. Prepare one tube containing only Assay Diluent to serve as the 0 pg/mL negative control.
