IL2RA
Reactivity: Human
WB, IHC, ELISA, IF
Host: Rabbit
Polyclonal
unconjugated
Application Notes
Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity ofHuman sIL-2RA (10.0 μg/mL), a concentration of 1.0-1.5 μg/mL of this antibody is required,in the presence of 0.5 ng/mL recombinant hIL-2. ELISA: In a Sandwich ELISA (assuming 100μL/well), a concentration of 4.0-8.0 μg/mL of thisantibody will detect at least 100 pg/mL of recombinant Human sIL-2RA when used inconjunction with compatible secondary reagents. Western Blot: To detect Human sIL-2RA by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be usedat a concentration of 0.20-0.40 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondaryreagents the detection limit for recombinant Human sIL-2RA is 2.0-4.0 ng/lane, underreducing or non-reducing conditions. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

The Interleukin 2 Receptor alpha and beta chains, together with the common gamma chain, constitute the high affinity IL2 receptor present on activated T and B cells, thymocyte subset, pre B cells and T regulatory cells. Homodimeric alpha chains result in low affinity receptor, while homodimeric beta chains produce a medium affinity receptor. Normally an integral membrane protein, soluble IL2 Receptor alpha has been isolated and determined to result from extracellular proteolysis. Alternately spliced IL2 Receptor alpha mRNAs have been isolated, but the significance of each is presently unknown.Synonyms: IL-2 receptor alpha subunit, IL-2-RA, IL2-RA, Interleukin-2 receptor alpha chain, TAC antigen, p55
