General description

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a cytokine produced by activated T cells in response to antigen stimulation. IL-2 is important for proliferation of lymphocytes, natural killer cells and macrophages and in the differentiation of CD4+ cells into Th1 and Th2 effector cells. The effects of IL-2 are mediated by the signalling activated by its binding to IL-2 receptor (IL-2 R). IL-2 activates key signalling pathways such as MAPK, JAK/STAT as well as PI3K/Akt. Activation of these pathways modulates production of inflammatory cytokines, survival and progression through cell cycle
Monoclonal Anti-Interleukin-2 recognizes human Interleukin-2. It does not react with mouse IL-2.

Immunogen

purified, E. coli-derived recombinant human interleukin-2.

Application

Anti-interleukin-2 antibody may be used in immunohistochemistry at a working concentration of 8-25 μg/ml in human peripheral blood leukocytes. For flow cytometry a concentration of 25 μg/ml may be used. The antibody is suitable for IL-2 neutralization assays.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline with 5% trehalose.
