Preparation: Produced from sera of rabbits immunized with highly pure Recombinant Rat IL-2. Anti-Rat IL-2-specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography employing an immobilized Rat IL-2 matrix.
Sandwich ELISA: To detect Rat IL-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 PeproTech Biotinylated Anti-Rat IL-2 (500-P274Bt) as a detection antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of Recombinant Rat IL-2.
Western Blot: To detect Rat IL-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 Rat IL-2 is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.
Interleukin 2 (IL-2) is an immuno-modulatory cytokine that is important for the proliferation of activated T cells, differentiation of B cells, natural killer cells, monocytes and macrophages. IL-2 signals through the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R), a heterotrimeric protein complex whose gamma chain is also shared by interleukin 4 (IL-4) and interleukin 7 (IL-7). The expression of the IL-2 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 gene similar to IL-2 in mice leads to an ulcerative colitis-like disease that suggests an essential role of this gene in the immune response to antigenic stimuli.
