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 anti-human CD4, clone RPA-T4, (cat. 17-0049) and Alexa 488 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. This eBio64CAP17 antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis.


Applications Tested


This 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.
