The mouse IL-10 ELISA is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative detection of mouse IL-10.
Interleukin-10 is a pleiotropic cytokine playing an important role as a regulator of lymphoid and myeloid cell function. It can block cytokine synthesis and several accessory cell functions of macrophages, T-cells, and NK cells. In addition, IL-10 participates in the regulation of proliferation and differentiation of B-cells, mast cells, and thymocytes. Murine IL-10 exhibits strong DNA and amino acid sequence homology to human IL-10 and an open reading frame in the Epstein-Barr virus genome, BCRF1, which shares many of the cellular cytokine's biological activities and may therefore play a role in the host-virus interaction.
IL-10 encodes a protein that acts as a cytokine and is primarily produced by monocytes, with some production by lymphocytes. This cytokine has various effects on immunoregulation and inflammation, including down-regulating the expression of Th1 cytokines, MHC class II Ags, and costimulatory molecules on macrophages. It also enhances B cell survival, proliferation, and antibody production. Additionally, IL-10 can block NF-kappa B activity and is involved in the regulation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Knockout studies in mice have suggested that this cytokine is an essential immunoregulator in the intestinal tract. Mutations in this gene have been associated with an increased susceptibility to HIV-1 infection and rheumatoid arthritis. Diseases associated with IL10 include Graft-Versus-Host Disease and Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1.
