Mouse monoclonal antibody supplied in crude ascites with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide.
Immunogen
This IL2 antibody is generated from mice immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 50-77 amino acids from the Central region of human IL2.
The protein encoded by this gene 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.
