Product Summary for Human IL-10 Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Human IL-10 Immunoassay is a 3.5 or 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure IL-10 in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains Sf 21-expressed recombinant human IL-10 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to accurately quantitate recombinant human IL-10 and does not cross-react with viral IL-10. Results obtained using natural human IL-10 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human IL-10.

Sample Values

Serum/Plasma - Forty serum and plasma samples from apparently healthy volunteers were evaluated for the presence of human IL-10 in this assay. All samples measured less than the lowest standard, 7.8 pg/mL. No medical histories were available for the donors used in this study. 

Cell Culture Supernates - Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (1 x 106 cells/mL) were cultured in RPMI supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 50 μM beta-mercaptoethanol, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 units/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin sulfate. The cells were cultured unstimulated or stimulated with 10 μg/mL PHA for 1, 3, and 5 days. Aliquots of the cell culture supernates were removed and assayed for human IL-10.

Background: IL-10

Interleukin-10 (IL-10), also known as cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor (CSIF), is the charter member of the IL-10 alpha-helical cytokine family that also includes IL-19, IL-20, IL-22, IL-24, and IL-26/AK155 (1-3). IL-10 is secreted by many activated hematopoietic cell types as well as hepatic stellate cells, keratinocytes, and placental cytotrophoblasts. Whereas human IL-10 is active on mouse cells, mouse IL-10 does not act on human cells (4, 5). Mature human IL-10 shares 86% amino acid sequence identity with equine IL-10 and 72% - 80% with bovine, canine, feline, guinea pig, mouse, ovine, porcine, and rat IL-10. It contains two intrachain disulfide bridges and is expressed as a 36 kDa noncovalently-associated homodimer (4, 6, 7). 
IL-10 mediates its biological activities through a heteromeric receptor complex composed of the type II cytokine receptor subunits IL-10 R alpha and IL-10 R beta. IL-10 R alpha is a 110 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that is expressed on lymphocytes, NK cells, macrophages, monocytes, astrocytes, intestinal epithelial cells, cytotrophoblasts, and activated hepatic stellate cells (8-13), while the 75 kDa transmembrane IL-10 R beta is widely expressed (14, 15). The IL-10 dimer binds to two IL-10 R alpha chains, triggering recruitment of two IL-10 R beta chains (14, 15). IL-10 R beta does not bind IL-10 directly but is required for signal transduction. IL-10 R beta also associates with IL-20 R alpha, IL-22 R alpha1, or IL-28 R alpha to form the receptor complexes for IL-22, IL-26, IL-28, and IL-29 (16-18). 
The involvement of IL-10 in immunoregulation includes both suppressive and stimulatory effects. It functions as an anti-inflammatory cytokine by inhibiting the expansion and activation of Th1 cells and Th17 cells (19-21) and by promoting the development of M2 macrophages (21). Its expression by immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Treg) and regulatory B cells is important for Treg proliferation (19). Within a tumor microrenvironment, however, IL-10 inhibits the expansion of Treg as well as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (22, 23). IL-10 induces the intratumoral accumulation and activation of CD8+ T cells (24, 25). IL-10 exerts protective effects including limiting tissue damage in arthritic inflammation (19) and promoting muscle regeneration after injury (21), but it also contributes to the persistence of viral infections (26). The levels of IL-10 are elevated in Sjogren's syndrome (saliva), primary CNS lymphoma (cerebrospinal fluid), and ovarian cancer (serum and ascites) (27-29). Its levels are decreased in the serum in patients with recurrent heart attacks or during preeclampsia and also in the seminal fluid of infertile men (30-32).
