Human CXCL11 ELISA Kit for the quantitative determination of human Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 11 (CXCL11).

CXCL11 is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family that is also called Interferon-inducible T-cell alpha chemoattractant (I-TAC) and Interferon-gamma-inducible protein 9 (IP-9). By PCR analysis of somatic cell hybrids, the CXCL11 gene was mapped to chromosome 4, and using FISH, it was located to 4q21.2. The CXCL11 was strongly induced by IFNG and beta-interferon, but only weakly induced by alpha-interferon. Induction of CXCL11 required expression of STAT1. It found that monocyte chemotaxis occurs in response to recombinant CXCL11. RT-PCR analysis detected CXCL11 expression in brain tissue from a patient with AIDS dementia and a patient with multiple sclerosis but not in 2 controls.
