Background of IL-31
Interleukin-31, also known as IL-31 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL31 gene. This gene is mapped to 12q24.31. IL31, which is made principally by activated Th2-type T cells, interacts with a heterodimeric receptor consisting of IL31RA and OSMR that is constitutively expressed on epithelial cells and keratinocytes. IL31 may be involved in the promotion of allergic skin disorders and in regulating other allergic diseases, such as asthma. IL31 may function in skin immunity.

5 Customer Q&As for Human IL-31/Interleukin-31 ELISA Kit PicoKine®
Question
Q: can I use citrate plasma as samples in Human IL-31 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0979)?
Z. Collins
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-08-24
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can sequester metal ions from the functional domain of IL-31 causing disruption of its protein structure. IL-31 may be denatured as a result and may compromise the assay's measurements. The chilating sites could also be too close to the epitopes required for detection and block the antigen antibody reaction. We have tested the IL-31 ELISA, treating samples with a number of anticoagulants and decided that heparin or EDTA can be used for treatment of blood/plasma samples. Do not use other anticoagulents when collecting samples.

Question
Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for IL-31 ELISA kit? I used your IL-31 ELISA on serum samples. For my positive control, I received an O.D. value of 0.826, while my negative control received a value of 0.136. I obtained both of these controls from the ELISA kit, where your kit's typical data shows O.D. values much higher than my positive control and your background is lower. My samples O.D. values are around 0.225 and the highest is only 0.357. can I consider these samples contain IL-31 even though the O.D. values are not very high?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-07-15
Answer
A: The absolute O.D. values may change according to incubation time. The more you incubate the higher the O.D. values are going to be. what you should focus on is whether your sample O.D. values are statistically significantly higher than your blank values. considering your assay, you could extend your development time in the substrate incubation step to obtain higher O.D. values, as long as your negative controls' O.D. values are not increasing faster in relation to your positive controls. normally, a sample with O.D. value 2 standard deviations higher than your negative controls can be considered positive. We calculate the sensitivity of this ELISA kit by converting cutoff O.D. value, calculated as the average of 20 negative controls plus 2 standard deviations of the 20 negative controls, into a concentration. in other words, when we claim this IL-31 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 10pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of IL-31 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 10pg/ml.

Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated IL-31 antibodies are mixed with the substrate, will that change the substrate into the enzymatic reaction product? Or the enzyme function is only activated when the antibody is attached with the IL-31 antigen?
R. Wu
Verified customer
Asked: 2014-04-11
Answer
A: The enzyme is always active. Avoid contaminating the substrate with enzyme prior to the incubation otherwise it compromises the assay with false positive signal.
