Interleukin-34, or IL-34 is a protein belonging to a group of cytokines called interleukins. It is mapped to 16q22.1. The discovery of IL-34 protein in the red pulp of the spleen suggests involvement in growth and development of myeloid cells, consistent with its activity on monocytes. IL-34 is a recently discovered cytokine that acts on tissue resident macrophages and Langerhans cells upon binding the receptor for CSF-1, CSF-1R. It also can promote the differentiation and viability of monocytes and macrophages through the colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor. In addition, it promotes the development, survival, and function of microglia and Langerhans cells, therefore, this cytokine may predominately function in brain and skin biology.

Useful in Sandwich ELISA for Quantitative Detection of Antigen. Aliquot 0.1ml per well of the 4000pg/ml, 2000pg/ml, 1000pg/ml, 500pg/ml, 250pg/ml, 125pg/ml, 62.5pg/ml mouse IL-34 standard solutions into the precoated 96-well plate. Add 0.1ml of the sample diluent buffer into the control well (Zero well). Add 0.1ml of each properly diluted sample of mouse cell culture supernates, serum or plasma(heparin, EDTA) to each empty well. We recommend that each mouse IL-34 standard solution and each sample is measured in duplicate.
