Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration. Product Preparation Functional grade preclinical antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using in vitro cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates. Storage and Handling Functional grade preclinical antibodies may be stored sterile as received at 2-8°C for up to one month. For longer term storage, aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at ≤ -70°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.

Background CD25, a 55 kD type I transmembrane glycoprotein, has been shown to play roles in lymphocyte differentiation, activation, and proliferation. Many resting memory T cells constitutively express IL2RA. It functions as the receptor for HTLV-1, resulting in its expression on neoplastic cells in adult T cell lymphoma/leukemia. CD25 (sIL-2R) has been used to track disease progression. Some additional clinical applications include Chagas disease, a disease characterized by a decline of CD25 expression on immune cells, and Multiple sclerosis, in which treatments with mAbs target CD25. Antigen Distribution CD25 is expressed in activated T cells and B cells, thymocyte subset, pre-B cells, T regulatory cells.

It may occasionally generate incorrect or incomplete responses. Please do not rely solely on its recommendations when making purchasing decisions or designing experiments. Clone PC61 is primarily used in in vivo mouse studies to deplete CD25^+^ regulatory T cells (Tregs) and/or to block CD25 function, which directly impacts interleukin-2 (IL-2) signaling and immune homeostasis. Key applications and mechanistic details:
Additional experimental details:
In summary, PC61 is a tool for manipulating the Treg compartment or IL-2 pathway in mice, either by cellular depletion or functional blockade, depending on the experimental design and antibody variant used. Proteins and Antibodies Commonly Used with PC61 in the LiteraturePC61 is a widely used monoclonal antibody targeting mouse CD25 (interleukin-2 receptor alpha chain, IL-2R?). In the literature, PC61 is frequently employed alongside other proteins and antibodies, especially in studies investigating regulatory T cells (Tregs), immunoregulation, and immune cell phenotypes.

Summary Table
ConclusionPC61 is most often paired with antibodies against CD4 and Foxp3 for Treg identification and functional studies, as well as with IL-2 for signaling assays. Other anti-CD25 clones, such as 3C7, are used for epitope comparison. For in vivo work, low endotoxin formulations are essential, and co-use with T cell activation markers (CD3/CD28) is common in mechanistic studies. These combinations are foundational in immunology research focused on regulatory T cells and IL-2 receptor biology. The anti-mouse CD25 monoclonal antibody clone PC61 is a widely used tool in immunology research, primarily for studies targeting regulatory T cells (Tregs) by either blocking CD25 (IL-2 receptor ?-chain) function or depleting CD25? cells. Key findings from scientific literature citing clone PC61 include:
These findings highlight clone PC61's critical role in dissecting Treg biology and in shaping strategies for immunomodulatory antibody therapeutics targeting the IL-2/CD25 axis. Dosing regimens of clone PC61 (anti-mouse CD25 monoclonal antibody) commonly involve intraperitoneal injections of 500??g per mouse every 7 days, but can vary depending on mouse strain and experimental conditions. For example, in studies involving wild-type and Fcer1g^?/? mice, PC61 was consistently dosed at this amount and frequency to maintain receptor saturation and effective CD25 blockade throughout both short (1-week) and long (4-week) experiments.
In mouse models of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), PC61 was given using this dosing schedule, with clinical monitoring and supportive care as needed based on disease severity. Regimen variation considerations:
Published regimens typically validate dosing by demonstrating complete CD25 receptor saturation via flow cytometry at experiment termination. If different mouse models are used (immune-deficient, transgenic, autoimmune-prone), protocols may adjust dosing based on pilot pharmacokinetic results or desired immunological effects, though the 500??g/mouse/week regimen is a widely adopted starting point. No evidence in the search results indicated major variations in dosing amount or interval for PC61 across mouse strains, but specific aims (Treg depletion/blockade, duration of immune modulation) and antibody isotype/variant may prompt investigators to modify the regimen. Always confirm dosing strategy with published studies specific to the disease model and mouse genetic background in use. References & Citations1.) Braley-Mullen, H. et al.
