  • 32 Tests PN: A111155TB. One vial containing 35 µL of biotinylated anti-human IL-2.

Lyophilized Standard Mix-Human Group 1 Panel A, 7-Plex.

  • 96 & 32 Tests PN: HG10007. One vial containing lyophilized recombinant IFNγ, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A, and TNFα. Note: If multiple analyte kits on the above target list are ordered as a panel, only one vial of standard mix is supplied for those analyte kits. 

Application: Optimal antibody pair and antigen standard for assaying human IL-2.  Can be multiplexed with other analytes in Human Group 1.  To be used in conjunction with the AimPlex NR Basic Kit (96 Tests PN: P100001, 32 Tests PN: P100001T) and a diluent kit. Refer to the AimPlex Multiplex Immunoassay User Manual and kit inserts for the assay procedure.

Storage:  2-8 C in the dark.

Important: Sodium azide forms explosive compounds with heavy metals. These products contain <0.05% (w/w) azide which with repeated contact with lead and copper commonly found in plumbing drains may result in the buildup of shock sensitive compounds. Dispose in accordance with regulations from your institute.

Description:

Interleukin 2 (Accession P60568) is a member of the interleukin cytokine family secreted primarily by activated CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells, NK cells, and dendritic cells. IL-2 participates in immune responses but also in delivering signals for thymic development, which in turn promotes homeostasis of T-cells. IL-2 promotes T-cell differentiation into effector, regulatory, or memory T-cells. Elevated levels of IL-2 may be correlated with blood hypereosinophilia, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, and a range of cardiopulmonary toxicities such as tachycardia and dyspnea.
