Figure 5. Specificity of the ELISA for chemically modified citrullinated CXCL8.

Figure 5

Chemokines [CXCL8 (♦)], citrullinated chemokines [[Cit5]CXCL8 (▪) and [Cit9]CXCL5 (•)] and RPMI 1640 medium containing 2% FBS [control medium (x)] were chemically modified with antipyrine and 2,3-butanedione at low pH. Subsequently, samples were dialyzed against a buffer with neutral pH and modified citrullinated CXCL8 ([Cit5]CXCL8*) was detected by ELISA using anti-CXCL8 coating antibodies and detection antibodies against modified citrulline residues. Untreated samples (Panel A) and samples treated with antipyrine and 2,3-butanedione (Panel B) are represented as dotted and full lines respectively.
