Human PBMCs were stimulated with TPA/ionomycin in the presence of monensin for 5 hours. The cells were fixed and permeabilized and intracellularly stained with PE anti-human CD4, clone RPA-T4, (cat. 12-0049) and Alexa 647 anti-human IL-17A. Isotype control on the left and anti-IL-17A on the right. Cells in the lymphocytes gate were used for analysis.

Description

The eBio64CAP17 antibody reacts with human IL-17A; the antibody has been reported to cross react with Rhesus monkey IL-17A, as verified by intracellular staining experiments. The eBio64CAP17 antibody is a neutralizing antibody. Reactivity of the eBio64CAP17 antibody with other IL-17 family members has not been evaluated. Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) is a CD4+ T cell-derived cytokine that promotes inflammatory responses in cell lines and is elevated in rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, and transplant rejection. The cDNA encoding human IL-17A was isolated from a library of CD4+ T cells; the encoded protein exhibits 72 percent amino acid identity with HVS13 , an open reading frame from a T lymphotropic Herpesvirus saimiri, and 63 percent with mouse CTLA-8 (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated antigen-8). Human IL-17A exists as glycosylated 20-30 kD homodimers. High levels of IL-17A homodimer are produced by activated peripheral blood CD4+ T-cells. IL-17A enhances expression of the intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in human fibroblasts. Human IL-17A also stimulates epithelial, endothelial, or fibroblastic cells to secrete IL-6, IL-8, G-CSF, and PGE2. In the presence of human IL-17A, fibroblasts can sustain the proliferation of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors and induce maturation into neutrophils. Mouse, rat, and human IL-17A can induce IL-6 secretion in mouse stromal cells, indicating that all homologs can recognize the mouse IL-17A receptor.

IL-23-dependent, IL-17A-producing CD4+ T cells (Th-17 cells) have been identified as a unique subset of Th cells that develops along a pathway that is distinct from the Th1- and Th2- cell differentiation pathways. The hallmark effector molecules of Th1 and Th2 cells, e.g., IFN-g and IL-4, have each been found to negatively regulate the generation of these Th-17 cells.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The eBio64CAP17 antibody has been reported for use as the capture antibody in human IL-17A ELISA and ELISPOT assays, for neutralization of IL-17A bioactivity, and for intracellular staining and flow cytometric analysis of IL-17A-producing cells from activated cell cultures.

Applications Tested

The Alexa Fluor® 647-conjugated eBio64CAP17 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested for intracellular immunofluorescent staining and flow cytometry. This can be used at 20 µl (0.5 µg) per million cells in a 100 µl total staining volume. IL-17A-expressing cells were identified within the CD4 population of human PBMCs which were stimulated with TPA/ionomycin for 5 hrs in the presence of monensin.
