IL-10 Monoclonal Antibody (JES5-16E3), Functional Grade, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

Description: The JES5-16E3 antibody reacts with mouse interleukin-10 (IL-10). Mouse IL-10 is an ∽18 kDa factor also known as Cytokine Synthesis Inhibitory Factor (CSIF). In the mouse, Th2 cells, B1 cells, macrophages, and keratinocytes are the major cell subsets that produce IL-10. IL-10 inhibits synthesis of Th1 cytokines and proliferation of T cells, and acts as a costimulatory signal for mast cells, developing thymocytes and the Th2 response. Applications Reported: The JES5-16E3 antibody has been reported for use in capture of mouse IL-10 by ELISA and ELISPOT, intracellular staining for flow cytometric analysis, IHC, and neutralization of IL-10 bioactivity. Applications Tested: The Functional Grade purified JES5-16E3 antibody has been tested for ELISPOT capture. A suitable range of concentrations of this antibody for ELISPOT capture is 1-4 μg/mL. The JES5-16E3 antibody has been tested as the capture antibody in a sandwich ELISA for analysis of mouse interleukin-10 (IL-10) in combination with the biotinylated JES5-2A5 (13-7102) antibody for detection and recombit mouse IL-10 (14-8101) as the standard. A suitable range of concentrations of this antibody for ELISA capture is 1-4 μg/mL. A standard curve consisting of doubling dilutions of the recombit standard over the range of 4000 pg/mL - 30 pg/mL should be included in each ELISA plate. Endotoxin: Less than 0.001 ng/ug antibody as determined by the LAL assay.

Storage and handling: Use in a sterile environment. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered. Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin Level: Less than 0.001 ng/μg antibody, as determined by LAL assay. Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC. Interleukin 10 (IL-10, CSIF) is an anti-inflammatory cytokine mainly produced by macrophages and Th2 cells. IL-10 is an 18.6 kDa protein of 160 amino acid residues that shares over 80% sequence homology with the Epstein-Barr Virus protein (BCRFI). The reported biological activities of IL-10, which maybe interrelated, include inhibition of macrophage-mediated cytokine synthesis, suppression of the delayed-type hyper-sensitivity response, and stimulation of the Th2 cell response which results in elevated antibody production. IL-10 functions by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines made by macrophages and regulatory T cells including IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, IL-2, and IL-3, IL-4, and GM-CSF. IL-10 is also known to suppress antigen presentation on antigen presenting cells, enhances B cell survival, proliferation, and antibody production. IL-10 can block NF-kappa B activity, and is involved in the regulation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. While human IL-10 can act on murine cells, murine IL-10 cannot act on human cells. Binds to a retinoid X receptor (RXR) responsive element from the cellular retinol-binding protein II promoter (CRBPII-RXRE). IL-10 inhibits the 9-cis-retinoic acid-dependent RXR alpha transcription activation of the retinoic acid responsive element. Knockout studies in mice suggest the function of this cytokine as an essential immunoregulator in the intestinal tract.
