Anti-IL-2 (mouse), PE, clone JES6-5H4 Antibody

The JES6-5H4 antibody binds to mouse Interleukin-2 (IL-2), a 17 kDa cytokine that is secreted by activated T cells. This cytokine acts as an autocrine stimulatory factor for T cell proliferation, differentiation and survival, as well as being an effective activator of B cells and inducer of NK cell cytotoxic functions. IL-2 plays a key modulatory role in the differentiation of T cells toward either Th17 or T regulatory (Treg) cell types and is important for Treg cell function. The IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) is a complex consisting of an IL-2R alpha chain (CD25), along with the IL-2R beta chain (CD122) and the common gamma chain (CD132). IL-2 may also bind with low affinity to the T cell surface protein CD25 alone, although this interaction does not induce cell signaling.

This rat monoclonal Anti-IL-2 Antibody (mouse), PE, clone JES6-5H4, Cat. No. MABF1510 is validated for use in Flow Cytometry, for the detection of IL-2.

This monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant via affinity chromatography. The purified antibody was conjugated under optimal conditions, with unreacted dye removed from the preparation.

Flow Cytometry Analysis: 0.06 μg from a representative lot detected IL-2 in one million C57Bl/6 splenocytes.

Concentration: Please refer to lot specific datasheet.
