Specificity
Specificity:
Specificity was determined by changing beads with
concurrent alternate assay or incubating samples of
known concentration with IL-1b polyclonal antibody (not
optimized).
PAb does not appear to be effective in plasma samples.
Values close to the LLOQ (~ 0.2 pg/ml) may not
accurately reflect specificity in serum.
