Associates with IL12B to form the IL-23 interleukin, an heterodimeric cytokine which functions in innate and adaptive immunity. IL-23 may constitute with IL-17 an acute response to infection in peripheral tissues. IL-23 binds to an heterodimeric receptor complex composed of IL12RB1 and IL23R, activates the Jak-Stat signaling cascade, stimulates memory rather than naive T-cells and promotes production of proinflammatory cytokines. IL-23 induces autoimmune inflammation and thus may be responsible for autoimmune inflammatory diseases and may be important for tumorigenesis.
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Mouse Interleukin-23 subunit alpha
Subcellular Location
Secreted Secreted upon association with IL12B.
Detection Range
15.6-1000pg/mL
Entryname
IL23A_MOUSE
Linearity
The linearity of the kit was assayed by testing samples spiked with appropriate concentration of IL23A and their serial dilutions. The results were demonstrated by the percentage of calculated concentration to the expected.
Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay):Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Intra-Assay CV: ≤6.1%
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays):Three samples of known concentration were tested in five separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.
Inter-Assay CV: ≤8.2%
Protein Name
Interleukin-23 subunit alpha
Recovery
Recovery was determined by spiking various levels of IL23A into serum and plasma .
