  • The Swine CXCL11 (I-TAC) ELISA is designed for the quantitative measurement of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 11 (CXCL11) in porcine (swine) cell culture supernatants and can also be used to measure CXCL11 in additional biological sample types reported in the literature, including serum, plasma, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, and tissue lysates, with minor protocol modifications recommended to optimize performance across different matrices. CXCL11 is an interferon-inducible CXC chemokine produced primarily by monocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells in response to interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and type I interferons, and it functions through the CXCR3 receptor to recruit activated T lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells to sites of inflammation, particularly during viral and intracellular bacterial infections. In healthy swine, circulating CXCL11 levels are typically low or near the limit of detection (often <10-20 pg/mL in serum or plasma), but concentrations can increase substantially during respiratory or enteric viral infections, systemic inflammation, or experimental immune stimulation, depending on disease severity and timing of sampling. In veterinary and translational research, swine CXCL11 serves as an important biomarker of Th1-type immune activation and interferon-driven inflammatory responses in relevant porcine disease models, including porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), swine influenza virus (SIV), African swine fever virus (ASFV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae infection, and experimental bacterial sepsis models, as well as in vaccine efficacy and immunogenicity studies. The ELISA kit contains a capture antibody, detection antibody, and recombinant swine CXCL11 protein standard validated for use together in an ELISA format; kit components are not supplied in matched quantities and may be purchased separately. This product is for research use only, not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures, and is manufactured in the USA.

Swine CXCL11 (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 11), also known as I-TAC (Interferon-inducible T-cell alpha chemoattractant), is a proinflammatory chemokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family, which also includes CXCL9 (MIG) and CXCL10 (IP-10) that regulate T-cell recruitment during antiviral and inflammatory immune responses. In pigs (Sus scrofa), CXCL11 is produced by macrophages, dendritic cells, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts in response to interferon-γ (IFN-γ), viral infection, or inflammatory cytokines. CXCL11 signals primarily through the chemokine receptor CXCR3, expressed on activated T lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, and other immune cells, promoting chemotaxis and activation of these cells at sites of infection or inflammation. In swine health, CXCL11 contributes to Th1-type immune responses against viral pathogens, including porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and swine influenza virus, where recruitment of CXCR3⁺ T cells to lung tissues is important for antiviral defense. Because pigs share many physiological and immunological similarities with humans, they are also used as translational animal models for respiratory and infectious diseases, and CXCL11 is studied as part of the interferon-driven chemokine network that regulates T-cell trafficking, lung inflammation, and antiviral immunity in these models.
