Additional Info
| Function | Cytokine produced by activated CD4-positive helper T-cells and to a lesser extend activated CD8-positive T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells that plays pivotal roles in the immune response and tolerance. Binds to a receptor complex composed of either the high-affinity trimeric IL-2R (IL2RA/CD25, IL2RB/CD122 and IL2RG/CD132) or the low-affinity dimeric IL-2R (IL2RB and IL2RG). Interaction with the receptor leads to oligomerization and conformation changes in the IL-2R subunits resulting in downstream signaling starting with phosphorylation of JAK1 and JAK3. In turn, JAK1 and JAK3 phosphorylate the receptor to form a docking site leading to the phosphorylation of several substrates including STAT5. This process leads to activation of several pathways including STAT, phosphoinositide-3-kinase/PI3K and mitogen-activated protein kinase/MAPK pathways. Functions as a T-cell growth factor and can increase NK-cell cytolytic activity as well. Promotes strong proliferation of activated B-cells and subsequently immunoglobulin production. Plays a pivotal role in regulating the adaptive immune system by controlling the survival and proliferation of regulatory T-cells, which are required for the maintenance of immune tolerance. Moreover, participates in the differentiation and homeostasis of effector T-cell subsets, including Th1, Th2, Th17 as well as memory CD8-positive T-cells. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Mouse IL-2 (Interleukin-2) Antibody Pair (STJAP00075)
This antibody pair is designed to detect mouse Interleukin-2 (IL-2), corresponding to UniProt entry P04351. Reactivity has been confirmed for mouse samples only.
Both antibodies are supplied at 0.5 mg/mL in PBS with 0.04% Proclin 300 and 50% glycerol at pH 7.4. The capture antibody is unconjugated, while the detection antibody is biotinylated.
This pair has been validated for use in ELISA. No other assay formats are listed for this product.
The capture antibody is a rat-derived monoclonal antibody, and the detection antibody is a goat-derived polyclonal antibody. Both were raised against recombinant mouse IL-2 protein.
The capture antibody was purified by Protein A or G affinity chromatography, while the detection antibody was purified by antigen affinity chromatography.
Both components should be stored at -20°C for long-term storage. Freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided to maintain antibody integrity.
