Interleukin 15 (IL-15) is a novel cytokine that uses beta- and gamma-chain of IL-2R for signal transduction and is structurally similarity to IL-2. IL-15 is secreted by activated monocytes/macrophages following infection by virus.1 This cytokine induces cell proliferation of natural killer cells. This cytokine and interleukin 2 share many biological activities. They are found to bind common hematopoietin receptor subunits, and may compete for the same receptor, and thus negatively regulate each other's activity. This cytokine induces the activation of JAK kinases, as well as the phosphorylation and activation of transcription activators STAT3, STAT5, and STAT6. IL-15 can recruit and activate T lymphocytes in the synovial membrane, thereby contributing to Rheumatoid arthritis pathogenesis.2

Immunohistochemistry: Suitable for use at concentration of5-15 µg/mL.
Neutralization:Measured by its ability to neutralize IL‑15-induced proliferation in the CTLL‑2 mouse cytotoxic T cell line. Avanzi, G. et al. (1988) Br. J. Haematol. 69:359. The Neutralization Dose (ND₅₀) is typically 0.4-2.4 µg/mL in the presence of 30 ng/mL Recombinant Mouse IL‑15.

Rabbit Anti-Mouse Interleukin-15 (IL-15) recognizes Mouse IL-15. This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody was purified using a proprietary chromatographic technique that includes covalently immobilizing the antigen proteins or peptides to agarose based beads. This purification method enhances specificity, reduces nonspecific binding of extraneous IgG and provides you with the most reliable reagent available for your early discovery research.

This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody has been 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 – 7.4 containing 5.0% w/v trehalose with no calcium, magnesium, or preservatives present.

Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change.
