IL-2 antibody
No associated image currently available
Rabbit anti Rat Interleukin-2 antibody specifically recognizes rat interleukin-2 (IL-2), otherwise known as T-cell growth factor, a multi-functional immunoregulatory cytokine and member of the IL-2 family, secreted by antigen or mitogen stimulated T cells.
IL-2 signals through the IL-2 receptor complex (IL-2R), and is principally involved in the stimulation of the T cell proliferative response, promoting T cell clonal expansion and the expansion of T memory cells expressing low levels of high-affinity IL-2R. IL-2 also stimulates the growth/differentiation of B cells, monocytes, NK cells, macrophages and lymphokine activated killer cells.

- Phosphate buffered saline
- Preservative Stabilisers
- None present
- Immunogen
- Recombinant rat IL-2
- Approx. Protein Concentrations
- IgG concentration 1.0mg/ml after reconstitution
Storage Information
- Storage
- Prior to reconstitution store at +4oC.
After reconstitution store at -20oC.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use. - Shelf Life
