IL2 (interleukin 2) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine, which is predominantly synthesized by activated T-cells and dendritic cells (DCs). T-cells also act as effector of IL-2 as they contain the interleukin 2 receptor (IL2R). This gene is localized to human chromosome 4q27, and codes for a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 14-17kDa.
Anti-Interleukin-2 antibody produced in chicken is suitable for the production of anti-IL2 surface-conjugated microtoroids. It is suitable for indirect ELISA and western blotting analysis at a dilution of 1:500, for tissue or cell staining at a dilution of 1:200.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Interleukin 2 (IL-2) is an interleukin and is a cytokine signaling molecule in the immune system. It plays an important role in signal transduction for biological functions of IL-2. Upregulation of IL-2 combined with activation of IL-2-dependent signaling pathways may contribute to the pathogenesis of Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD). Aerosol interleukin-2 (IL-2) increases the number of intravenously injected human natural killer (NK) cells in the lungs by stimulating local NK cell proliferation. The effect on NK cell proliferation is organ specific, which makes it ideal for the specific targeting of lung metastasis.

Polymorphic variants at the interleukin-2 (IL2) locus affect the risk of several autoimmune disorders. Our aim was to evaluate the association of the four IL2 polymorphisms (rs6822844, rs6534349, rs2069762 and rs3136534) with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the Polish population
Although FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) depend on IL-2 produced by other cells for their survival and function, the levels of IL-2 in inflamed tissue are low, making it unclear how Treg access this critical resource. Here, we show that

Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is a well-known cause of medically intractable epilepsy. To understand the potential role of the inflammatory cytokine interleukin 2 (IL-2) in the pathogenesis of FCD, we investigated the expression patterns of IL-2 and its receptors (IL-2Rs)

For many years, the role of interleukin-2 (IL-2) in autoimmune responses was established as a cytokine possessing strong pro-inflammatory activity. Studies of the past few years have changed our knowledge on IL-2 in autoimmune chronic inflammation, suggesting its protective role

Interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-15 receptor β (IL-2/15Rβ, CD122) play important roles in signal transduction for biological functions of IL-2 and IL-15. We found that ducks possess three different IL-2/15Rβ transcripts, a conventional form (duIL-2/15Rβ) and two variants. Comparisons between the
