Eicosanoids are not species-specific. However, the antisera used in a particular assay may present an interference effect due to the species of IgG used on the plate. In this case, the kit can still be used but the endogenous IgG will need to be removed. This can be done by precipitating out the sample IgG prior to running the assay or by extracting the samples with the extraction protocol suggested in the kit insert.
