Thermo Fisher Scientific IL-17A (CTLA-8) Human ProcartaPlex Simplex Kit

Invitrogen™ IL-17A (CTLA-8) Human ProcartaPlex™ Simplex Kit

The Human IL-17A (CTLA-8) Simplex ProcartaPlex Kit measures IL-17A (CTLA-8) protein and is designed to be combinable with other Simplex kits so that you can create your own multiplex panel utilizing Luminex xMAP technology for protein detection and quantitation. When combining multiple Simplex kits (i.e., when not using a pre-configured Multiplex Panel), only one buffer kit (sold separately) is required per assay plate regardless of plex size.

About ProcartaPlex Assays for the Luminex Platform

ProcartaPlex immunoassays are based on the principles of a sandwich ELISA, using two highly specific antibodies binding to different epitopes of one protein to quantitate all protein targets simultaneously using a Luminex instrument.

• More results per sample — measure multiple protein targets simultaneously in a single 25–50 μL sample
• Well-established Luminex technology — highly referenced multiplexing platform for protein detection and quantitation

ProcartaPlex assays utilize Luminex xMAP (multianalyte profiling) technology for the simultaneous detection and quantitation of up to 80 protein targets in a single 25–50 μL sample from plasma, serum, cell culture supernatants, and other bodily fluids.

The Luminex beads in the ProcartaPlex assay are internally dyed with precise proportions of red and infrared fluorophores to create spectrally unique signatures identifiable by Luminex xMAP detection systems (e.g., Luminex 200, FLEXMAP 3D, MAGPIX). Similar to a sandwich ELISA, the ProcartaPlex assay uses matched antibody pairs to identify the protein of interest. In a multiplexed assay, each spectrally unique bead is labeled with antibodies specific for a single target protein, and bound proteins are identified with biotinylated antibodies and streptavidin–R-phycoerythrin (RPE). The conjugation of protein-specific antibodies to distinct beads allows analysis of multiple targets in a single well.

The major difference between a ProcartaPlex assay and ELISA is that the capture antibody in ProcartaPlex is conjugated to a bead and not adsorbed to the microplate well, so reagents are free-floating in solution. For detection, the Luminex 200 instrument uses two lasers: one to distinguish bead spectral signatures and another to quantify RPE fluorescence proportional to protein concentration. ProcartaPlex multiplex assays can profile more target proteins using significantly less sample in the same time as a traditional ELISA.

ProcartaPlex multiplex panels are available in multiple formats across six species (human, mouse, rat, nonhuman primate, porcine, and canine).
