Anti-Human TSLP Receptor Purified

Description: The eBio1A6 monoclonal antibody reacts with human thymic stromal-derived lymphopoietin receptor (TSLPR). TSLPR is an approximately 50 kDa protein with significant similarity to the common gamma-chain. TSLPR complexes with IL-7R alpha (CD127) to form the high affinity receptor that binds thymic stromal-derived lymphopoietin (TSLP). Human TSLPR is expressed by monocytes and CD11c+ dendritic cells, and TSLP binding induces the expression of the Th2 cell-attracting chemokines CCL17 and CCL22. Furthermore, the TSLPR-induced activation of dendritic cells indirectly results in the increased secretion of Th cytokines IL-4, -5 and -13, which may be necessary for the regulation of CD4+ T cell homeostasis. In mice, deficiency of TSLPR has no effect on lymphocyte numbers, whereas double deficiency of TSLPR and common gamma-chain results in fewer lymphocytes than seen in mice deficient in the common gamma-chain alone. The eBio1A6 monoclonal antibody is able to cross-block binding of another anti-human TSLPR monoclonal antibody, 1D8.
