Introduction
IL-10 is a multi-effect inhibitory cytokine, which can be produced by monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, B cells, CD8 + T cells, regulatory T cells, Th1 cells, and Th17 cells. Others Some non-immune cells (mast cells, keratinocytes, epithelial cells and tumor cells). IL-10 can inhibit the activation of T cells, monocytes and macrophages, and inhibit the production of various cytokines. It can also promote the differentiation and proliferation of B cells and natural killer cells, and promote the recruitment of monocyte nuclear macrophages and mast cell colonies. In addition, IL-10 plays an important role in various diseases such as inflammatory response, autoimmune disease, tumor and organ transplantation.
Mechanism and Function
The IL-10 receptor is composed of two a chains and two b chains. Both IL-10RA and IL-10RB belong to the type II cytokine receptor family. IL-10RB is widely expressed and expressed in most cells and tissues. The IL-10 signal works mainly through the JKA-STAT pathway. A tetramer formed by the combination of IL-10 with two A chains and two B chains, leading to activation of JAK1 and TYK2, and causing phosphorylation of specific parts of the IL-10 receptor terminal by JAK1. The phosphorylated receptor causes aggregation and connection of STAT3, and the connected STAT3 is phosphorylated by JAK1 and TYK2 to form a dimer, which regulates the expression of corresponding target genes.
In the treatment of liver fibrosis, IL-10 plays an important role. Liver fibrosis is a reversible process. IL-10 can reduce and reverse liver fibrosis by inhibiting the proliferation of hepatic stellate cells and promoting apoptosis. In addition, IL-10 inhibits and reduces liver fibrosis by inhibiting the expression of hepatic stellate intercellular adhesion molecule-1. IL-10 can also inhibit liver fibrosis by reducing NF-κB activity.
IL-10 is involved in the immune regulation of CD4 + T cell apoptosis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by inducing T cells to highly express apoptotic gene-related products / Fas receptors (Fas / FasL). IL-10 can stimulate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in SLE patients to produce dsDNA antibodies, and dsDNA antibodies can stimulate PBMCs to produce IL-10, which will further increase the level of IL-10 and accelerate the development of the disease.
As a chronic inflammatory disease of bronchial asthma, IL-10 in the collective can inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory factors such as neutrophils and eosinophils, and aggravate its inflammatory response. In addition, the decrease of IL-10 level, the continuous increase of various inflammatory factors in the body make the body in the process of injury and repair for a long time, causing the heart valve to begin to disease, and eventually lead to heart valve disease.

Sample requirements
- Sample Types-Blood, serum, plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, cell culture supernatant, tissue homogenate, cell culture medium, urine, tumor, etc.
- Sample Volume - It is optimal for at least 200µl of each sample. This volume allows for triplicate testing of each sample.
Our advantages:
- Efficient design: Multiplex reaction detecting in various methods are available, which can be selected according to different samples and requirements.
- Sensitive detection: High-quality antibodies are used in the detection process to improve detection specificity and accuracy.
- Reliable results: The feedback results are professional and efficient.
Technology platform:
We mainly provide the Luminex cytokine detection platform. Luminex uses fluorescently encoded microspheres with specific antibodies to different target molecules. The different microspheres can be combined freely to a certain extent so that up to 100 analytes can be tested multiple times simultaneously in a single experiment.
The Luminex cytokine assay platform has the following advantages:
- Multiple detection: simultaneous detection of 100 biological targets
- Short experiment time: 1-3 weeks
- High sensitivity: the lower limit of accurate quantification is as low as 0.1 pg/mL
- Save samples: only need a sample volume as low as 25 μL
- Time saving: the experiment process only takes 4 hours
For your different needs, we can also provide the following detection methods:
- Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
- Flow cytometry
