Description

General description

Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine primarily produced by Th17 cells, which are a subset of CD4+ T cells. It plays a crucial role in mediating immune responses against extracellular pathogens and is involved in the pathogenesis of various autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. IL-17A promotes the recruitment of neutrophils and enhances the production of other inflammatory mediators, contributing to the regulation of tissue inflammation and repair.

Application

Inflammatory Disease / Immune Response / Autoimmune Disease

Features and Benefits

• Unmatched Detection Capability: Utilizing SMC^® technology, this assay offers superior performance in quantifying IL-17A in human serum and plasma, ensuring precise and reliable measurements.
• Advance Autoimmune & Inflammatory Disease Research: IL-17A is a key cytokine in Th17-mediated immunity. This assay supports studies in psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, IBD, and other chronic inflammatory conditions.
• Enable Early Biomarker Discovery: High sensitivity allows detection of subclinical cytokine shifts, supporting early-stage biomarker identification and therapeutic target validation.
• Improve Data Quality & Confidence: Low background and high signal-to-noise ratio ensure robust, publication-ready data.

Packaging

96 well assay
