Human Interleukin 15 (IL-15) is a cytokine that is initially produced as a precursor that matures into a 114-amino acid glycoprotein. IL-15 is generated by multiple tissues, including the placenta, skeletal muscle, kidney, lung, heart, and monocytes/macrophages. IL-15 acts mainly on T and B cells and is a key cytokine in the development, proliferation, and survival of natural killer cells.
IL-15 binds with high affinity to the IL-15 receptor α and forms a complex with the α and γ chains of the IL-2 receptor for signal transduction. It can regulate inflammatory responses and activate NK cells during immune responses. IL-15 signaling has become a focus of interest for therapeutic interventions, especially in autoimmune diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory synovitis, psoriasis, diabetes mellitus, asthma bronchiale, rheumatoid arthritis, and T-cell leukemia.

Cell supernatant, sample, or standard is dispensed directly into the assay plate for the detection by HTRF® reagents (384-well low-volume white plate or Revvity low-volume 96-well plate in 20 µl). The antibodies labeled with the HTRF donor and acceptor are pre-mixed and added in a single dispensing step, to further streamline the assay procedure. The assay can be run in up to a 1536-well format by simply resizing each addition volume proportionally.
The IL-15 standard curve is generated in the assay Diluent 5, provided in the kit.

Each of the samples was measured in 3 independent experiments (3 days), and the % CV was calculated for each sample.
The excellent recovery percentages obtained from these experiments show the good dilution linearity of the assay. Samples were HUT-102 supernatants serially diluted in RPMI medium.

Recombinant cytokine was added to HUT-102 supernatant samples, and the measured response was compared to the calculated expected values. The 100% of recovery indicates similar measurements of cytokine from sample and the kit standard.

Cross reactivities were assessed using recombinant proteins from the IL2 cytokine family, and tested at 100 ng/mL. Signals were interpolated on the assay standard curve to interpolate concentrations. The assay is human specific, as mouse IL15 cytokine was not detected using this assay.
The possible interference from human Interleukin 15 Receptor alpha / Fc Chimera (IL15 Rα) was investigated. No interference was observed up to 50 ng/mL for IL15 Rα.

NCI-H2172 cells plated at 50 kcells/well were stimulated for 48 h with PMA 10 ng/mL, IFN Ɣ 10 ng/mL, or with both compounds for 48H. 16 µL of supernatants were then transferred into a white detection plate (384 low volume) to be analyzed with the Human IL-15 Assay. As expected, treatment with PMA and IFNƔ induced IL-15 production and secretion (IFN-γ Induces IL-15 Trans-Presentation by Epithelial Cells via IRF1 J Immunol (2022) 208 (2): 338–346.)
HUT-102 human cutaneous T cell lymphocyte cells were cultured at a cell density of 2x106 cells/mL in RPMI medium with 10% FBS for 24H at 37°C for supernatant generation to be analyzed by the Human IL-15 HTRF assay. The IL-15 concentration in HUT-102 cell supernatant was 153 pg/mL. These results are in accordance with the literature (Blood (1998) 91 (11): 4265–4272).
The HTRF human IL-15 assay is able to detect monomeric IL-15 in presence of a large excess of IL-15 Receptor.
