Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunocytochemistry (ICC)
Specificity
At least two isoforms of IL-21 are known to exist, this antibody will detect both isoforms. IL-21 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other members of the interleukin protein family.
Purification
IL-21 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
Anti-IL-21 antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to 15 amino acids near the center of human IL-21 precursor. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of IL-21.

IL-21 Antibody: A novel cytokine was recently identified in human and mouse and designated IL-21, which has significant homology to IL-2, IL-4, and IL-15. The receptor for IL-21 (IL-21R, also termed NILR for novel Interleukin receptor) is a new member of the class I cytokine receptor family. IL-21R forms a complex with the common cytokine receptor gamma chain, gammac, and mediates IL-21 signaling. IL-21 and its receptor activate JAK-STAT signaling pathway. IL-21 is expressed in activated T cells, and HL-60 and THP-1 cell lines. IL-21 plays a role in the proliferation and maturation of NK, B and T cell populations.
