Anti-Human IL-22 PE-Cyanine7

Description: The 22URTI monoclonal antibody reacts with human interleukin(IL)-22. IL-22 is a 20 kDa member of the IL-10 cytokine family that is secreted primarily by Th17 and NK cells. Nevertheless, other T cells have also been shown to produce IL-22. In in vitro Th17 cultures, induction of IL-22 expression is greater in response to IL-23 than IL-6 or TGF beta, suggesting that this cytokine may be secreted by more fully differentiated Th17 cells in vivo. A heterodimer consisting of IL-10R2 and IL-22R1 serves as the receptor for IL-22.
