DescriptionSMC™ Human IFN-β1 High Sensitivity Immunoassay Kit
OverviewThe SMC™ Human IFN-β1 High Sensitivity Immunoassay Kit contains all reagents required to perform the assay. This assay takes advantage of a standard immunoassay workflow configured in a standard plate format. Assay protocols are similar to existing sandwich ELISA methods with two key differences: 1) Elution buffer disrupts the sandwich, separating the labeled detection antibody for quantification. 2) The Erenna® and SMCxPRO™ immunoassay systems detect analytes using Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) technology.
Background InformationA member of the type I interferon family of glycoprotein second messengers, human Interferon Beta (IFN-β1) has been associated with antiviral activity as a secreted factor from infected cells that mediates innate immunity in neighboring cells. In addition, IFN-β1 has also been utilized as treatment for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) due to its ability to ameliorate inflammation in the central nervous system in this disease.
