Interleukin 8 is known as an important chemokine and plays an important role in tumor growth and angiogenesis. Over expression of IL-8 has been detected in a variety of human tumors, including gastric cancer and breast cancer. Therefore, the development of rapid and sensitive profiling methods is cr...
