Bovine IL-2 ELISA

• Background:

  IL-2 is produced by T-helper cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation. It is required for T-cell proliferation and other activities crucial to the regulation of the immune response. IL-2 was discovered to be a member of a family of cytokines, which also includes IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15 and IL-21. IL-2 signals through a receptor complex consisting of IL-2 specific IL-2 receptor alpha (CD25), IL-2 receptor beta (CD122) and a common gamma chain (γc) . All members of this family use the common gamma chain as part of their signaling complex.

• Description:

  The Bovine IL-2 ELISA contains capture antibody, standard, and detection antibody for development of a Bovine IL-2 ELISA. The antibodies have been determined to function in an ELISA with the standard provided. Optimal buffers, concentrations, incubation times, incubation temperatures, and methods for the ELISA have not been determined. This allows for complete flexibility to provide optimal dynamic range and sensitivity based on your sample type. The Bovine IL-2 ELISA can also be used to measure Bison, Water Buffalo, Wild Yak, and Zebu IL-2. Alternate names include IL2, IL-2, TCGF, lymphokine, interleukin 2. The quantities of components provided are not matched. Components may also be purchased separately. For research use only.
