| Background | The Quantikine Human IL-16 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure human IL-16 in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant human IL-16 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. It has been shown to accurately quantitate recombinant human IL-16. Results obtained using natural IL-16 showed linear curves t...hat were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human IL-16. Show More |

Interleukin 16 (IL-16), also named lymphocyte chemoattractant factor (LCF), is a 14-17 kDa single chain non-glycosylated polypeptide that was originally identified as a CD8+ T cell-derived chemoattractant for CD4+ cells. The expression of IL-16 precursor mRNA has been detected in various tissues including spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, peripheral leukocytes, bone marrow and cerebellum. In addition to its chemotactic properties, IL-16 has also been shown to suppress HIV-1 replication in vitro.
