Product Summary for Mouse IL-2 Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Mouse IL-2 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure mouse IL-2 levels in cell culture supernates and serum. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant mouse IL-2 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to quantitate the recombinant mouse IL-2 accurately. Results obtained using natural mouse IL-2 showed dose curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural mouse IL-2.

Background: IL-2

IL-2 (Interleukin 2) is a critical cytokine in T cell biology. It promotes T cell activation and expansion, the development, maintenance and function of regulatory T cells (Treg), and the differentiation of CD8+ T cells into terminal effector cells and memory cells. IL-2 signals through a receptor complex composed of CD25/IL-2 R alpha, IL-2 R beta, and the Common gamma Chain (gamma c). IL-2 R beta is also a component of the IL-15 receptor complex. Gamma c is also a signaling subunit in the receptors for IL-4, -7, -9, -15, and -21.
