IL-17RA antibody is human, mouse and rat reactive. Multiple isoforms of IL-17RA are known to exist. This antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other IL-17 receptor subunits.
Purification
IL-17RA Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
IL-17RA antibody was raised against an 18 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human IL-17RA.
The immunogen is located within amino acids 150 - 200 of IL-17RA.
IL-17RA Antibody: Interleukin 17A (IL-17A) is a proinflammatory cytokine secreted by activated T-lymphocytes (1). It is a potent inducer of the maturation of CD34-positive hematopoietic precursors into neutrophils. IL-17RA is a ubiquitous type I membrane glycoprotein that binds with low affinity to IL-17A and IL-17F (1,2). IL-17A and its receptor play a pathogenic role in many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (3,4). Defects in IL-17RA are the cause of familial candidiasis type 5 (CANDF5) which is a rare disorder with altered immune responses and impaired clearance of fungal infections (5).
