IL16 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA, WB
Recommend Dilution	ELISA: To detect hIL-16 by direct ELISA (using 100 µl/well antibody solution) this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.15 - 0.30 µg/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of at least 0.2 ng/well of recombinant hIL-16. Western Blot: To detect hIL-16 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2 µg/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hIL-16 is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

Background	IL16 is a proinflammatory cytokine that is chemotactic for CD4+ T lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils. IL16 is synthesized as a precursor molecule (pro IL16) of approximately 68 kDa and 631 amino acid residues lacking a signal peptide. The sequence and structure of IL16 is conserved across species. In addition to inducing chemotaxis, IL16 upregulates the IL2 receptor and upregulates HLADR expression. It also inhibits T cell receptor (TCR)/CD3 dependent activation, and suppresses HIV1 replication in vitro. Sources of IL16 include epithelial cells, mast cells, T lymphocytes (CD4+ and CD8+), macrophages, synovial fibroblasts, and eosinophils.
Synonyms	IL-16, LCF
Note	Centrifuge vial prior to opening!
