Immunogen
Purified Recombinant Human IL-2 (Accession # NP_000577)
Endotoxin Level
<0.1 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method
Formulation
This monoclonal antibody has been 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 - 7.3 containing 5.0% w/v trehalose with no calcium, magnesium or preservatives present.
Storage and Handling
The lyophilized antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for up to twelve months. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted antibody, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months.

Applications and Recommended Usage?
Quality Tested by Leinco
ELISA Sandwich: This antibody is useful as the capture antibody in a sandwich ELISA. The suggested coating concentration is 2 - 8 µg/ml. A suitable detection antibody is PN:I-215 at a concentration of approximately 0.1-0.4 µg/ml. A suggested standard for this assay is PN:I-184.
Additional Applications Reported In Literature ?
Immunocytochemistry: Suitable for use at concentration of 8-25 µg/mL.
Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change.

Description

Specificity
Clone 5355 recognizes an epitope on human IL-2.
Background
IL-2 is a 17.2 kD cytokine signaling protein that is the regulator of the proliferative and suppressive phases of the immune response, and stimulates growth and differentiation of B cells, NK cells, LAK cells, monocytes, and oligodendrocytes. It functions as a primary regulator of T cell homeostasis. Il-2 regulates the activities of white blood cells and plays a role in the immune system via “self” and “non-self” discrimination. IL-2 is a prime candidate in immunotherapeutics for both increasing T cell levels/function and for augmenting vaccine-elicited viral-specific T cell responses. IL-2 signal can be transduced via 3 different signaling pathways that include the JAK-STAT, PI3K/Akt/mTOR and MAPK/ERK pathways. Aldesleukin is a form of recombinant interleukin-2 for the treatment of cancers including malignant melanoma and renal cell cancer. Furthermore, there is additional therapeutic potential for IL-2 mAb use with transplants and autoimmune disease.
