Recommended ELISA procedure for human IFN alpha 2b determination: 1. Use 96-well Nunc Maxisorp plates for the assay. Coat microwells with 100 µl/well of antibody 9D3 (ab9386) diluted to 10 µg/ml in coating buffer (0.05 M Na-carbonate, pH 9.5). Incubate overnight at +4°C. 2. Aspirate wells and block with 150 µl/well of blocking buffer (2% BSA in PBS). Incubate at RT for 1 h. 3. Aspirate wells and wash 3 times with PBST (0.1% Tween-20 in PBS). 4. Prepare standard and sample dilutions in PBST. Recommended IFN alpha 2b concentrations: from 100 pg/ml to 100 ng/ml. Add 100 µl of each standard and sample into appropriate wells. Incubate at RT for 2 h. 5. Aspirate and wash 5 times with PBST. 6. Dilute detection antibody 4E10-HRP (ab5258) 1:1000 in PBST. Add 100 µl of diluted detection antibody to each well. Incubate at RT for 1 h. 7. Aspirate and wash 10 times with PBST. 8. Add 100 µl of substrate solution (TMB) to each well. Incubate at RT for 10-20 min. 9. Add 50 µl of stop solution (2 N H2SO4) to each well. Read absorbance at 450 nm.

This product was changed from ascites to tissue culture supernatant on 28/11/2017. Lot numbers higher than GR308991-1 and GR308991-2 will be from tissue culture supernatant. Please note that the dilutions may need to be adjusted accordingly.

Reproducibility is key to advancing scientific discovery and accelerating scientists’ next breakthrough.

Abcam is leading the way with our range of recombinant antibodies, knockout-validated antibodies and knockout cell lines, all of which support improved reproducibility.

We are also planning to innovate the way in which we present recommended applications and species on our product datasheets, so that only applications & species that have been tested in our own labs, our suppliers or by selected trusted collaborators are covered by our Abpromise™ guarantee.

In preparation for this, we have started to update the applications & species that this product is Abpromise guaranteed for.

We are also updating the applications & species that this product has been “predicted to work with,” however this information is not covered by our Abpromise guarantee.

Applications & species from publications and Abreviews that have not been tested in our own labs or in those of our suppliers are not covered by the Abpromise guarantee.
