Human IL-9 was originally identified as a cytokine found in the conditioned medium of a human T cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) transformed T cell line that is mitogenic for the factor-dependent human megakaryoblastic leukemic cell line, M07e. This human cytokine and its murine homologue are now designated as human and mouse IL-9. The gene for H IL-9 has been mapped to human chromosome 5. As in the mouse system, the human IL-9 cDNA encodes a 144 amino acid residue precursor protein with an 18 amino acid signal peptide that is cleaved to form the mature cysteinerich protein with a predicted molecular mass of 14 kDa. Human IL-9 contains four potential Nlinked glycosylation sites and the native HIL-9 is a highly glycosylated protein. Human and mouse IL-9 share 56% and 67% homology at the amino acid and nucleotide levels, respectively. Although murine IL-9 is active on human cells, human IL-9 is not active on mouse cells. Human and murine IL9 are also capable of enhancing in vitro survival of human T cell lines as well as synergizing with Epo to support erythroid colony formation in vitro.

For the quantitative determination of human interleukin 9 (IL-9) concentrations in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma.

Principle of the assay: This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique. A monoclonal antibody specific for IL-9 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any IL-9 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. Following incubation unbound samples are removed during a wash step, and then a detection antibody specific for IL-9 is added to the wells and binds to the combination of capture antibody-IL-9 in sample. Following a wash to remove any unbound combination, and enzyme conjugate is added to the wells. Following incubation and wash steps a substrate is added. A coloured product is formed in proportion to the amount of IL-9 present in the sample. The reaction is terminated by addition of acid and absorbance is measured at 450nm. A standard curve is prepared from seven IL-9 standard dilutions and IL-9 sample concentration determined.
