AlphaLISA technology allows the detection of molecules of interest in buffer, cell culture media, serum and plasma in a highly sensitive, quantitative, reproducible and user-friendly mode. In an AlphaLISA assay, a Biotinylated Anti-Analyte Antibody binds to the Streptavidin-coated Alpha Donor beads, while another Anti-Analyte Antibody is conjugated to AlphaLISA Acceptor beads. In the presence of the analyte, the beads come into close proximity. The excitation of the Donor beads provokes the release of singlet oxygen molecules that triggers a cascade of energy transfer in the Acceptor beads, resulting in a sharp peak of light emission at 615 nm.

Interferon gamma is a homodimer glycosylated cytokine that is produced predominantly by natural killer and natural killer T cells. It is critical for innate and adaptive immunity against viral, bacterial and protozoan infections, and is involved in tumor growth. In domestic animal species, IFNγ is associated with autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases and inhibits viral replication and bacterial infections. Genetic variation of this cytokine is also associated with the risk of aplastic anemia. This kit is designed to detect cynoIFNγ in serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants.
