Rabbit Anti-Human Interleukin-31 (IL-31) recognizes an epitope in the intermediate domain of Human and Mouse IL-31. This polyclonal antibody was purified using affinity chromatography.

Interleukin-31 (IL-31) is a T-cell cytokine, which is preferentially produced by type 2 helper T cells. The structure of IL-31 places it in the IL-6 family of cytokines. IL-31 signals via a receptor complex that is composed of IL-31 receptor A and oncostatin M receptor subunits. IL-31 is believed to play a role in inflammation of the skin.¹ IL-31 represents a novel target for antipruritic drug development.²
