  • 32 Tests PN: B211131TA. One vial containing 35 µL of anti-mouse IL-15 conjugated to AimPlex Bead S5P12.

25x Biotin-detection Ab (Mouse IL-15 Biotin-dAb). 

  • 96 Tests PN: B211131B. One vial containing 100 µL of biotinylated anti-mouse IL-15.

  • 32 Tests PN: B211131TB. One vial containing 35 µL of biotinylated anti-mouse IL-15.

Lyophilized Standard Mix - Group 2 Panel A, 10-Plex. 

  • 96 & 32 Tests PN: MG2009A. One vial containing lyophilized recombinant mouse IL-1β, IL-3, IL-5, IL-7, IL-12/IL-23p40, IL-13, IL-15, IL-17F, IL-21, and IL-22.  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 Mouse IL-15. Can be multiplexed with other analytes in Mouse Group 2. To be used in conjunction with the AimPlex Mouse/Rat Basic Kit (96 Tests PN: P200201, 32 Tests PN:200201T) 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 15 (Accession P48346) is expressed by many tissues and cell types such as monocytes, fibroblasts, myocyte, nerve cells, and dendritic cells. It has roles in maintaining homeostasis in both innate and adaptive immunity. IL-15 is a major growth factor responsible for NK maturation while also regulating their interactions with macrophages. This cytokine has two receptor subunits in common with that of IL-2’s, together they show the possibility of therapies for cancers and autoimmune diseases as well as implementation for the creation of new vaccines. Clinical trials are currently evaluating the safety and anti-tumor efficacy of IL-15 in patients with metastatic melanoma and renal cell carcinoma.
