Recombinant protein corresponding to mouse IL-17, expressed in E. coli.
Mouse interleukin-17 (IL-17/IL-17A), a disulfide-linked homodimer and member of the IL-17 family, secreted primarily by activated CD4+ T cells, which signals through the IL-17 receptor (IL-17R). IL-17 induces a variety of target cells to secrete inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1beta, IL-6, TNFalpha, IFNgamma and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, as well as synergizing with other inflammatory cytokines and agonists. Increased levels of IL-17 are detectable during transplant rejection, and also during rheumatoid arthritis, possibly contributing to bone destruction. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 0.5-2ug/ml Western Blot: 0.1-0.2ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Store product at 4C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20C. Aliquots are stable at -20C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
