Specific Detection of Active IL-18 Without Tedious Wash Steps
The Lumit® Active IL-18 Immunoassay quantitatively measures active IL-18 in cell culture samples using a simple, no-wash protocol. Just add labeled binding protein with treatment, add labeled antibody, add detection reagent and read luminescent signal using a standard plate-reading luminometer. The entire protocol is completed in less than 70 minutes! The assay can be used directly on cells in culture or culture medium samples transferred to a separate assay plate.
Note: The total number of assays per kit will vary based on final well volume.
For standard well volumes:
- 100 assay kits: applicable for 100 assays in 96-well plates or 400 assays in 384-well plates.
- 500 assay kits: applicable for 500 assays in 96-well plates or 2,000 assays in 384-well plates.
- 1,000 assay kits: applicable for 1,000 assays in 96-well plates or 4,000 assays in 384-well plates.
How the Lumit® IL-18 Immunoassay Works
Lumit® Flex technology is a luminescent structural complementation system composed of two small peptide tags (Peptide α and Peptide β) and a reagent-based polypeptide (Lumit® Flex Detection Protein). In the Lumit® Active IL-18 Immunoassay, a monoclonal anti–human IL-18 antibody and human IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP) are labeled with Peptide α and Peptide β, respectively. In the presence of active IL-18, the two peptides are brought into proximity. When Lumit® Detection Reagent B (containing the Flex Detection Protein) is added, a functional luciferase is reconstituted and produces a bright luminescent signal in the presence of Lumit® Substrate. The signal is directly proportional to active IL-18 levels.
The assay specifically detects active IL-18 and does not recognize pro-IL-18 or IL-18 bound to endogenous IL-18BP.
For proper assay performance, hIL-18BP-β must be incubated with cells during treatment to capture active IL-18 immediately as it is released from cells. This is because active IL-18 is unstable in cell culture media. To see data demonstrating the instability of active IL-18, review this scientific poster.

Using Lumit® Technology to Address Inflammasome-Mediated Cytokine Release
In this webinar, Promega Sr. Research Scientist, Dr. Martha O’Brien, describes developing tools to measure inflammasome activation, including the Lumit® Active IL-18 Immunoassay and Lumit® IL-1β Immunoassay. Dr. O’Brien shows how Lumit® Assays can be multiplexed with other inflammasome assays to identify and rank the potency of inflammasome inhibitors.
Detect IL-18 Release Following Inflammasome Activation
The Lumit® Active IL-18 (Human) Immunoassay was used to quantitate secretion of active IL-18 from THP-1 cells following treatment. Active IL-18 is found in cell culture media samples following treatment with either nigericin or nigericin + LPS but not in untreated cells or cells treated with LPS alone. The amount of active IL-18 secreted was calculated using the standard curve. Data shown is an average of 3 replicates; error bars represent standard deviation.
