IL-2 Antibody — Published figure using IL-2 monoclonal antibody (Product # 14-7021-81)

IL-2 Antibody in Flow Cytometry (Flow) — Staining of mouse splenocytes were stimulated with PMA/Ionomycin in the presence of Brefeldin A for 5 hours with Anti-Mouse CD4 FITC (Product # 11-0041-82) and intracellularly stained with Anti-Mouse IL-2 PE.

IL-2 Antibody in Cell Treatment — Intracellular staining of stimulated mouse splenocytes. As expected based on known expression patterns, IL-2 clone JES6-5H4 stains a large subset of CD4+ T cells and a minor subset of NK1.1+ NK cells with no staining observed without stimulation. Details: Mouse splenocytes were cultured in the presence of Protein Transport Inhibitors (500X) (Unstimulated, bottom row) or Cell Stimulation Cocktail (plus protein transport inhibitors, 500X) for 5 hours (Stimulated, top row). Cells were fixed and permeabilized with the IC Fixation and Permeabilization Buffer Set and protocol followed by intracellular staining with CD4 (clone RM4-5), NK1.1 (clone PK136) and IL-2 (clone JES6-5H4). Cells in the CD4+ (blue histogram) or NK1.1+ (purple histogram) gates were used for analysis. {TM}

Product Specific Information

Description: The JES6-5H4 antibody reacts with mouse interleukin-2 (IL-2), a 17 kDa T cell growth factor and a major immunoregulatory cytokine.

Applications Reported: The purified JES6-5H4 has been reported for use in blocking of fluorochrome conjugated JES6-5H4 in intracellular flow cytometry experiments to serve as specificity control. JES6-5H4 is reported for detection of mouse IL-2 by ELISA, immunoprecipitation, and for neutralizing IL-2 binding and biological activity (use Functional Grade purified).

Applications Tested: The JES6-5H4 antibody has been tested by sandwich ELISA for detection of mouse IL-2 in combination with JES6-1A12 and can be used between 0.5-2 µg/mL.

Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC.

Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.

Target Information

Interleukin 2 (IL-2) is an immuno-modulatory cytokine that is important for the proliferation of activated T cells, differentiation of B cells, natural killer cells, monocytes and macrophages. IL-2 signals through the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R), a heterotrimeric protein complex whose gamma chain is also shared by interleukin 4 (IL-4) and interleukin 7 (IL-7). The expression of the IL-2 gene in mature thymocytes is monoallelic, which represents an unusual regulatory mode for controlling the precise expression of a single gene. The targeted disruption of a gene similar to IL-2 in mice leads to an ulcerative colitis-like disease that suggests an essential role of this gene in the immune response to antigenic stimuli.
