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 murine Interleukin-2. It does not react with human IL-2, but will react with rabbit IL-2 at a 100x higher IgG concentration.
Immunogen
purified, E. coli-derived recombinant mouse interleukin-2.
Application
Anti-interleukin-2 antibody may be used for immunoblotting at a working concentration of 0.1-0.2 μg/ml. The antibody is suitable for murine IL-2 neutralization assays.
Physical form
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline with 5% trehalose.
