25x Biotin-detection Ab (NHP IL-5 Biotin-dAb). PN: A411065B. One vial containing 100 µL of biotinylated anti-NHP IL-5.

Lyophilized Standard - NHP IL-5. PN: A411065S. One vial containing lyophilized recombinant IL-5.

Application: Optimal antibody pair and antigen standard for assaying NHP IL-5. To be used in conjunction with the AimPlex NR Basic Kit (PN: P100001) 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 5 (Accession P48093) or Eosinophil Differentiation Factor (EDF) is produced by both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells such as T cells and granulocytes. IL-5, along with IL-3, and GM-CSF are mediators for eosinophil differentiation, though IL-5 has an eosinophil specificity and plays a role in their maturation. Overexpression of IL-5 in vivo increases amounts of B cells (mostly in mice), eosinophils (in humans), and antibodies significantly. Targeting IL-5 expression may have implications for such conditions as food allergies, asthma, inflammatory bowel diseases, and drug hypersensitivity.
