IL-22 Monoclonal Antibody (IL22JOP), APC, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

Description: The monoclonal antibody IL22JOP reacts with and inhibits the bioactivity of human and mouse IL-22. IL-22 is a 20 kDa member of the IL-10 cytokine family that is secreted primarily by Th17 cells, NK cells, and other T cells. Compared to IL-6 or TGF beta, IL-23 can induce greater levels of IL-22 in in vitro-differentiated Th17 cells. This observation suggests that IL-22 may be secreted by more fully differentiated Th17 cells in vivo. Recently, it was demonstrated that IL-22 could protect hosts from bacterial infection of the lungs and gut. Moreover, it has been reported that anti-CD3/CD28-induced production of IL-22 by PBMCs was elevated significantly in asthma patients compared to control patients. Flow cytometric analysis also showed that the frequencies of IL-17+IL-22+ CD4 T cells were increased in PBMCs from patients with ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis. IL22JOP is published to recognize rhesus IL-22. Applications Reported: This IL22JOP antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This IL22JOP antibody has been tested on Th17-polarized CD4+ normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.25 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test.
