ELISA, Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Neutralization (Neut), Radioimmunoassay (RIA)
Cross-Reactivity
Mouse (Murine)
Characteristics
Concentration Definition: by UV absorbance at 280 nm
Immunogen
This purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with full length recombinant rat IL17-A protein. Immunogentype:Recombinant
IL17A
Reactivity: Human
WB, IHC
Host: Rabbit
Polyclonal
unconjugated
Application Notes
This purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and western blotting. Reactivity is also expected in neutralizations, radioimmunoassay and immunohistochemistry. The endotoxin content is estimated to be <10 pg/µl by the LAL method. The recombinant immunogen is a non-glycosylated homodimer joined by disulfide bonds having a molecular mass of 30.0 kDa. By western blot from a reducing gel expect a band approximately 15.0 kDa in size corresponding to rat IL17-A protein in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user.

Rat IL17-A (also known as Interleukin-17, Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 8 and CTLA-8) is a proinflammatory cytokine member of a six-species family of proteins (IL-17A-17F). Rat IL-17A protein is a homodimer consisting of two 134 amino acids peptides. IL-17A is secreted mainly by activated CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes and acts through its receptor, IL-17R, to induce the expression of many mediators of inflammation, most strikingly, those that are involved in the proliferation, maturation and chemotaxis of neutrophils. Elevated levels of IL-17A have been associated with several conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, airway inflammation, allograft rejection, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, cancer and multiple sclerosis. There is 58% identity between the amino acid sequence of human and rat IL-17A. Synonyms: Interleukin-17, Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 8 and CTLA-8
