Specifications

Product Data

• Applications: ELISA, FN, WB
• Recommended Dilution: Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of hIL-16 (4.20 ng/ml), a concentration of 0.07-0.012 µg/ml of this antibody is required.
  Direct ELISA: To detect Human IL-16 by direct ELISA (using 100µl/well antibody solution) a concentration of at least 0.5 µg/ml of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant Human IL-16.
  Sandwich ELISA: To detect Human IL-16 by Sandwich ELISA (using 100 μl/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.5-2.0 μg/ml of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with Biotin conjugated Anti-Human IL-16 (Cat.-No PP1036B1 or PP1036B2) as a detection antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant hIL-16.
  Western Blot: To detect Human IL-16 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 µg/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant Human IL-16 is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

• Background: IL16 is a proinflammatory cytokine that is chemotactic for CD4+ T lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils. IL16 is synthesized as a precursor molecule (pro IL16) of approximately 68 kDa and 631 amino acid residues lacking a signal peptide. The sequence and structure of IL16 is conserved across species. In addition to inducing chemotaxis, IL16 upregulates the IL2 receptor and upregulates HLADR expression. It also inhibits T cell receptor (TCR)/CD3 dependent activation, and suppresses HIV1 replication in vitro. Sources of IL16 include epithelial cells, mast cells, T lymphocytes (CD4+ and CD8+), macrophages, synovial fibroblasts, and eosinophils.
• Synonyms: IL-16, LCF
