Reagent Preparation
1. Prepare Wash Buffer
Allow wash buffer concentrate to reach room temperature and mix to redissolve any precipitated salts. Dilute Wash Buffer Concentrate into deionized or distilled water. Store the concentrate and 1X wash buffer in the refrigerator.
2. Prepare the thinner
The test diluent should be diluted with deionized or distilled water before use.
3. Preparation of Biotin Conjugation
Spin the biotin conjugate briefly before use. Gently stir up and down with a pipette. Collect samples in pyrogen/endotoxin-free tubes. If samples cannot be tested immediately after collection, freeze samples. Freeze samples to avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
4. Pre-dilute samples
For different types of samples, different dilution solutions should be used for dilution.
5. Prepare 1X Streptavidin-HRP Solution
Quickly swirl Streptavidin-HRP before use and mix gently up and down with a pipette as a precipitate may form during storage. Do not store the diluted solution for future use.
6. Dilution Standards
Dilute standards using glass or plastic tubes. Simply spin off a vial of lyophilized standards.
Assay Procedure
1. For the standard curve, add the standard to the corresponding hole. For sample, add diluted sample to the well.
2. Cover well and incubate at room temperature for 2-4 hours or gently shake at 4°C overnight.
3. Discard the solution and wash it 3-5 times with 1X wash buffer. Use a multi-channel pipette or automatic cleaner to fill each hole with a cleaning buffer. Complete liquid removal at each step is essential for good performance. After the last wash, remove any remaining wash buffer by suction or decanting. Turn the board upside down and drain with a clean paper towel.
4. Add the prepared biotin conjugates into each well.
5. Incubate gently at room temperature for 1-2 hour.
6. Discard the solution. Repeat the washing in Step 3.
7. Add the prepared Streptavidin-HRP solution to each well.
8. Incubate gently at room temperature, shaking for 30-50 minutes.
9. Discard the solution. Repeat the washing in Step 3.
10. Add TMB substrate to each well. The substrate will begin to turn blue.
11. Incubate at room temperature, dark, for 30-45 minutes, shaking gently.
12. Add termination solution to each well. Tap lightly on the sides of the boards to blend. The solution in the hole changes from blue to yellow.
Calculation of Results
Plates were read at 450 nm. If there is wavelength subtraction, subtract 570nm from the 450nm value and analyze the data.

Handling Advice
All blood components and biological materials should be treated with precautions as potentially hazardous. Strictly follow the management principles of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Occupational Safety and Health Administration for handling and disposing of infectious agents.
Storage
The ELISA Kits are shipped at 2 to 8°C. Upon receipt, store the kits at 2 to 8°C.
Some components may need storage at -20°C.
Expiry Date
Stability If properly stored, all components are stable for up to 12 months. For expiry dates for the entire kit, see the kit label. The expiration date of each ingredient is shown on the bottle label. The expiration date of a kit ingredient is guaranteed only if the ingredient is properly stored and, in the event of repeated use of an component, the reagent will not be contaminated by the first treatment.
Note
Each production lot of this ELISA kit is quality tested to meet criteria such as sensitivity, specificity, precision and lot-to-lot consistency. See the manual for more information on validation.

Background
It is a cytokine that controls the production, differentiation, and function of granulocytes and macrophages. The active form of the protein is found extracellularly as a homodimer. This gene has been localized to a cluster of related genes at chromosome region 5q31, which is known to be associated with interstitial deletions in the 5q- syndrome and acute myelogenous leukemia. Other genes in the cluster include those encoding interleukins 4, 5, and 13. This gene plays a role in promoting tissue inflammation. Elevated levels of cytokines, including the one produced by this gene, have been detected in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients that develop acute respiratory distress syndrome. Mice deficient in this gene or its receptor develop pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.
