KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide mapping to a fragment of residues within amino acids 147-175 in the central region of human Interleukin 10 Receptor alpha, UniProt Accession Q13651.
Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is a cytokine whose main biological function is to suppress the immune response by induction of a signal(s) leading to inhibition of synthesis of a number of cytokines and their cellular receptors. Signal transduction is initiated upon formation of a ternary complex of IL-10 with two of its receptor chains, IL-10R1 and IL-10R2, expressed on the cell membrane. The affinity of IL-10R1 toward IL-10 is very high, which allowed determination of the crystal structure of IL-10 complexed with the extracellular/soluble domain of IL-10R1, while the affinity of IL-10R2 toward either IL-10 or IL-10/sIL-10R1 complex is quite low. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunofluorescence amd Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:1000 Flow Cytometry: 1:10-1:50 Immunofluorescence: 1:10-1:50 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
