Protein Name & Synonyms:
IL-5
Applications:
ELISA (dilution: 0.1, 0.2ug/ml), Western Blotting
Concentration (lot specific):
IgG concentration 0.1mg/ml after reconstitution
Preparation:
Antisera to human IL-5 were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG prepared by affinity chromatography.
Reconstitution:
Reconstitute with 0.5ml sterile PBS containing 0.1% Bovine Serum Albumin.. Care should be taken during reconstitution as the protein may appear as a film at the bottom of the vial. RayBiotech recommend that the vial is gently mixed after reconstitution. For long term storage the addition of 0.09% sodium azide is recommended.
Species Reactivity:
Human
This product is specific for human IL-5 (Interleukin-5), a disulphide-linked homodimer consisting of two 115 amino acid chains, which is homologous to mouse eosinophil differentiation factor (EDF) and is produced by mast cells, eosinophils and T cells.
IL-5 is a lineage-specific cytokine involved in the development and stimulation of eosinophils, and has been linked with diseases involving abnormally high levels of eosinophils, including parasitic infections and allergic airways eosinophilia, the major pathological symptom of allergic asthma.
Prior to reconstitution store at +4 °C.
After reconstitution store at -20 °C.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
If stored in this manner, this product is stable for 12 months after receipt.
