- Extra Details:
- IL-2 is a 153 amino acid secreted cytokine produced by T-cells following antigenic or mitogenic stimulation. It plays a crucial role in T-cell proliferation and immune regulation. Interleukin-2, clone MQ1-17H12 has been sucessfully used for the detection and measurement of native and recombinant human IL-2 using flow cytometry and ELISA where it acts as the capture reagent in a very sensitive assay for IL-2 determination in human samples. IL-2 is used extensively for the treatment of patients with metastatic melanoma (Atkins et al. 1999) and renal cancer with reproducible benificial effects (Rosenberg 2014). Monitoring of IL-2 levels in such patients is required for optimization of treatment regimens (Lotze et al. 1986). This antibody is also useful for evaluating levels of IL-2 in patients with autoimmune conditions including lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis where there may be an impaired ability to produce IL-2 (Talal et al. 1983). Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Flow Cytometry: use 10ul label 1x10e6 cells in 100ul. Membrane permeabilization is required. Optimal working dilutions to be determined by researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
