Application Notes
ELISA: Clone 5A8 can be used as Detection antibody to detect recombinant Human IL-2 inELISA when clone 9F9 is used as Capture antibody. Clone 5A8 can be reversely used as Capture antibody as well. However it produced betterresults when used as Detection antibody. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Interleukin 2 (IL2) is a secreted cytokine that is important for the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes. The receptor of this cytokine is a heterotrimeric protein complex whose gamma chain is also shared by interleukin 4 (IL4) and interleukin 7 (IL7). The expression of this gene in mature thymocytes is monoallelic, which represents an unusual regulatory mode for controlling the precise expression of a single gene. The targeted disruption of a similar gene in mice leads to ulcerative colitis like disease, which suggests an essential role of this gene in the immune response to antigenic stimuli. IL2 has been shown to have antitumor effects in some studies. This is probably mediated by cytotoxic effector cells.Synonyms: IL-2, T-cell growth factor, TCGF
