General description

Interleukin-17F (IL-17F) is a cytokine that belongs to the IL-17 family and is primarily produced by Th17 cells and other immune cells. It shares structural similarities with IL-17A and plays a role in promoting inflammatory responses, particularly in the context of autoimmune diseases and chronic inflammation. IL-17F is involved in the recruitment of neutrophils and the enhancement of pro-inflammatory cytokine production, contributing to the body′s defense against pathogens as well as the pathogenesis of various inflammatory conditions.

Application

Inflammatory Disease / Immune Response / Autoimmune Disease

Features and Benefits

  • Detect the Undectable: Detects IL-17F at concentrations as low as 200 fg/mL, enabling precise quantification of low-abundance cytokines in human plasma and serum.
  • Wide Dynamic Range: Standard curve spans 100-100,000 fg/mL, supporting both basal and elevated IL-17F levels in diverse sample types.
  • Advance Th17 Pathway Research: IL-17F is a critical cytokine in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such as asthma, psoriasis, and IBD. This assay supports mechanistic studies and therapeutic development.
  • Enable Early Biomarker Discovery: Detect subclinical cytokine shifts with high sensitivity, ideal for identifying early disease markers and monitoring immune responses.

Packaging

96 well assay

Analysis Note

  • Sensitivity: LLOQ 200 fg/mL* (SMCxPRO® Instrument)
  • Standard Curve Range: 100-100,000 fg/mL
  • Intra-assay CV: <15%
  • Inter-assay CV: <20%
  • Linearity: Serum: 99% Plasma: 101%
  • Recovery: Serum: 94% Plasma: 105%

*Indicative LLOQ created from average of 14 independent in house runs, where >80% met same value defined with CV & Recovery +/- 20%. Refer to CoA for lot specific performance.

Other Notes

Although IL-17F was detectable in non-human primate samples, the assay has not been verified for these species.
