DescriptionSMC™ Human IFN-γ High Sensitivity Immunoassay Kit
OverviewThe SMC™ Human IFN-γ 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 InformationInterferon gamma is a pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by activated T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. It is important in the activation of macrophages and MHC expression and plays a key role in both inflammation and autoimmune disease by enhancing antigen presentation, increasing leukocyte trafficking and affecting cell proliferation and apoptosis.

ApplicationThe sensitivity of the Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) technology gives the SMC™ Human IFN-γ High Sensitivity Immunoassay Kit unparalleled performance in the quantification of IFN-γ in human serum and plasma.
Key Applications
  • Single Molecule Counting (SMC®)
Application NotesThis new streamline kit has been improved with the following features over the legacy IFN-γ kit, #03-0049-00:
• LLOQ has been lowered from 0.2 pg/mL in the legacy kit to 0.03 pg/mL in the new kit
• Improved options for sample prep and incubation
• Lyophilization of the standard provides the kit at one storage condition
• Removal of a plate transfer step
• Increased reagent volumes to accommodate automation
• Validated to run on both SMCxPRO™ and Erenna®
• Tested against WHO standard

Note: Recombinant protein is not stable and vortexing is not recommended.
