Description

The TRFK5 antibody reacts with mouse and human interleukin-5 (IL-5). The TRFK5 antibody is a neutralizing antibody. Mouse IL-5 is a disulfide-linked homodimer, containing two 113 amino acid peptides; these resolve as 32-34 kDa bands in SDS-PAGE. IL-5 is produced by T cells and has been known as eosinophil-differentiating factor (EDF), B cell growth factor II (BCGFII), and T cell-replacing factor (TRF). IL-5 induces eosinophil differentiation and promotes eosinophil survival and activation. In mice, IL-5 has been shown to stimulate B cell proliferation and antibody production.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The TRFK5 antibody has been reported for use in ELISA capture, ELISPOT capture, neutralization of IL-5 bioactivity, IHC, and intracellular staining for flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested

The TRFK5 antibody has been tested as the capture antibody in a sandwich ELISA for analysis of mouse IL-5 in combination with the biotin TRFK4 (13-7051) antibody for detection and recombinant mouse IL-5 (14-8051) 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 recombinant standard over the range of 1000 pg/ml - 8 pg/ml should be included in each ELISA plate.

The TRFK5 antibody has been tested as the capture antibody in a sandwich ELISA for analysis of human IL-5 in combination with the biotinylated JES1-5A10 (13-7059) antibody for detection and recombinant human IL-5 (\lt{14-80591}) 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 recombinant standard over the range of 1000 pg/ml - 8 pg/ml should be included in each ELISA plate.
The Functional Grade purified TRFK5 antibody has been tested for neutralization of IL-5 bioactivity.
