Description
The eBioJM7A4 monoclonal antibody reacts with the IL-15 receptor alpha chain (IL-15Rα). IL-15 and IL-2 are cytokines with overlapping, but distinct, biologic effects. Their receptors share 2 subunits, the IL2R-β and -γ chains, which are essential for signal transduction. The IL-15R-α receptor is structurally related to IL-2R-α. However, the IL-15Rα alone binds IL-15 with a 1,000-fold higher affinity than that seen with IL-2R-α and IL-2. In the human, 3 differentially spliced human IL15R-α variants that are all capable of high affinity binding of IL-15 have been isolated. The cytoplasmic domain of IL15R-α, like that of IL2R-α, is dispensable for mitogenic signaling, suggesting that the primary role of the alpha chains is to confer high affinity binding. At high concentrations, IL-15, like IL-2, is able to signal through a complex of IL2R-β and IL2R-γ in the absence of the alpha subunit.
Applications Reported
For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This eBioJM7A4 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.
Applications Tested
This eBioJM7A4 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of LPS and IFN-γ-stimulated PBMCs. This can be used at 20 μl (0.125 μg) per 100 μl blood (or per 1 million cells in 100 μl total staining volume).
