The Chicken Interleukin-16 (IL-16) ELISA Kit is a valuable tool for researchers looking to accurately measure IL-16 levels in chicken serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. This kit boasts high sensitivity and specificity, ensuring the precision and reproducibility needed for reliable results in various research applications.IL-16 is a critical cytokine involved in immune responses and inflammatory processes in chickens. It plays a crucial role in modulating T-cell activation, migration, and cytokine production, making it a key player in the regulation of immune responses in poultry.
The ability to accurately measure IL-16 levels can provide valuable insights into the chicken immune system and its responses to various pathogens and stimuli.Overall, the Chicken Interleukin-16 (IL-16) ELISA Kit offers researchers a reliable and precise tool for studying the role of IL-16 in chicken immune responses and inflammatory processes, paving the way for new discoveries and potential therapeutic strategies in poultry health.
Matrices listed below were spiked with certain level of recombinant the index and the recovery rates were calculated by comparing the measured value to the expected amount of the index in samples.

Intra-assay Precision:
Intra-Assay: CV <10%. 3 samples with low, middle and high level the index were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively.
Inter-assay Precision:
Inter-Assay: CV <12%. 3 samples with low, middle and high level the index were tested on 3 different plates, 8 replicates in each plate.
Stability:
The stability of ELISA kit is determined by the loss rate of activity. The loss rate of this kit is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage conditions. Note: To minimize unnecessary influences on the performance, operation procedures and lab conditions, especially room temperature, air humidity and incubator temperatures should be strictly regulated. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same experimenter from the beginning to the end.
