This antibody will only detect the NIL-16 isoform.
纯化方法
IL-16 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
免疫原
IL-16 antibody was raised against a 14 amino acid synthetic peptide near the amino terminus of human IL-16. The immunogen is located within amino acids 140 - 190 of IL-16.
IL-16 antibody can be used for detection of IL-16 by Western blot at 2.5 - 5 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 2.5 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in rat samples, Immunohistochemistry in mouse samples and Immunofluorescence in mouse samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

背景
IL-16 Antibody: IL-16 was initially identified as a chemotactic cytokine, but is now known to possess a wide range of activities. Later studies have more fully characterized IL-16 as an immunomodulatory cytokine that contributes to the regulatory process of CD4+ T cell recruitment and activation at sites of inflammation in association with asthma and several autoimmune diseases. The precursor of IL-16 (pro-IL-16) is thought to be cleaved towards the C-terminal region by Caspase-3, releasing a 20 kDa active form that binds to and signals through CD4. Besides acting as a chemotactic cytokine, IL-16 is thought to also be involved in the regulation of T cell proliferation and multiple infectious, immune-mediated, and autoimmune inflammatory disorders including irritable bowel syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and neurodegenerative disorders. At least two isoforms of IL-16 are known to exist, the longer isoform (also known as NIL-16) is detected only in neurons of the cerebellum and hippocampus.
