Interleukin-2 (IL-2) also refers as T Cell Growth Factor is a cytokine produced by certain subsets of T lymphocytes. It plays various functions like inducing interferon γ and B cell growth factor secretion as well as affecting the activation and proliferation of NK cells. It also has a vital role in modulating the expression of the IL-2 receptor and can facilitate B cell growth and differentiation. Mouse monoclonal anti-Interleukin-2−R-Phycoerythrin antibody reacts specifically with human IL-2.
Specificity
The conjugates will identify and quantitate cells containing intracellular forms of human IL-2 by flow cytometry.
Immunogen
recombinant human IL-2
Application
Monoclonal anti-Interleukin-2−R-Phycoerythrin antibody can be used in flow cytometry assays for identifying intracytoplasmic cytokines and for enumerating cytokine producing cells present in a mixed population.
Physical form
Solution in buffered saline containing 0.5% bovine serum albumin and 0.1% sodium azide.
Preparation Note
Purified antibody is conjugated to R-phycoerythrin (PE).

Using anti-Tac, a monoclonal anti-interleukin 2 (IL-2) receptor antibody, we have explored the possibility that certain activated B cells display receptors for IL-2. Resting normal B cells and unselected B cell lines established from normal individuals were Tac antigen negative.

The cell surface density of high-affinity membrane receptors for the T-lymphocytotrophic hormone interleukin 2 (IL-2) determines the rate of T-cell-cycle progression. Since 10-fold greater numbers of IL-2 receptor molecules were found by using a radiolabeled monoclonal antibody reactive with IL-2
