Il2 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA, FN, WB
Recommend Dilution	Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of mIL-2 (2.0 ng/ml), a concentration of 0.04-0.05 µg/ml of this antibody is required. ELISA: (Indirect): To detect mIL-2 by indirect ELISA (using 100 μl/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.5-2.0 μg/ml of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant mIL-2. (Sandwich): To detect mIL-2 by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μl/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.5-2.0 μg/ml of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with Biotinylated Anti-Murine IL-2 (PP009B) as a detection antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant mIL-2. Western Blot: To detect mIL-2 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 µg/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant mIL-2 is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

Gene Name	interleukin 2
Database Link	Entrez Gene 16183 Mouse UniProt ID P04351
Background	Interleukin 2 (IL2) is a secreted cytokine that is important for the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes. The receptor of this cytokine is a heterotrimeric protein complex whose gamma chain is also shared by interleukin 4 (IL4) and interleukin 7 (IL7). The expression of this gene in mature thymocytes is monoallelic, which represents an unusual regulatory mode for controlling the precise expression of a single gene. The targeted disruption of a similar gene in mice leads to ulcerative colitis like disease, which suggests an essential role of this gene in the immune response to antigenic stimuli. IL2 has been shown to have antitumor effects in some studies. This is probably mediated by cytotoxic effector cells.
Synonyms	IL-2, TCGF
Note	Centrifuge vial prior to opening!
