IL-16 Antibody (biotin) | XP-5170Bt | Gentaur UK, US & Europe Distribution

Host: Rabbit

Reactivity: Human

Homology: N/A

Immunogen: Produced from sera of rabbits pre-immunized with highly pure (>98%) recombinant hIL-16 (human Interleukin-16) .

Research Area: Immunology, Chemokines & Cytokines, Antibody Pairs

Tested Application: E, WB

Application: ELISA:
Sandwich:
To detect hIL-16 by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.25 - 1.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This biotinylated polyclonal antibody, in conjunction with our Polyclonal Anti-Human IL-16 (XP-5170) as a capture antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hIL-16.
Western Blot:
To detect hIL-16 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hIL-16 is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

BACKGROUND: IL16 is a proinflammatory cytokine that is chemotactic for CD4+ T lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils. IL16 is synthesized as a precursor molecule (pro IL16) of approximately 68 kDa and 631 amino acid residues lacking a signal peptide. The sequence and structure of IL16 is conserved across species. In addition to inducing chemotaxis, IL16 upregulates the IL2 receptor and upregulates HLADR expression. It also inhibits T cell receptor (TCR) /CD3 dependent activation, and suppresses HIV1 replication in vitro. Sources of IL16 include epithelial cells, mast cells, T lymphocytes (CD4+ and CD8+) , macrophages, synovial fibroblasts, and eosinophils.
