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 FLISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: FLISA: 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. Caution: FITC conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
