IL-5 is a homodimeric, disulphide-linked protein produced by T-cells. The native protein can have variable molecular weight as a result of glycosylation. Monomeric mouse IL-5 is a 113 amino acid protein with a reported molecular weight of 35-37 kD for the homodimeric protein. Mouse and human IL-5 are approximately 70% identical. IL-5 has been shown to promote the growth of immature hematopoietic BFU-E progenitors and stimulates the activation, and differentiation of eosinophils, and promotes the generation of cytotoxic lymphocytes . Mouse IL-5 induces the differentiation and proliferation of pre-activated B-cells and stimulates the production and secretion of IgM and IgA by B-cells stimulated with bacterial endotoxin. The TRFK4 antibody reacts with mouse interleukin-5 (IL-5). The TRFK4 antibody can neutralize the bioactivity of natural or recombinant IL-5.

- Recommended Usage
-
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by ELISA assay. For use as an ELISA detection antibody, a concentration range of 0.25-1.0 µg/ml is recommended. To obtain a linear standard curve, serial dilutions of mouse IL-5 recombinant protein ranging from 250 to 1 pg/ml are recommended for each ELISA plate. For use as an ELISPOT detection antibody, a concentration range of 1-4 µg/ml is recommended. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
- Application Notes
-
ELISA1-4 or ELISPOT5-7 Detection: The biotinylated TRFK4 antibody is useful as a detection antibody for a sandwich ELISA or ELISPOT assay, when used in conjunction with purified TRFK5 antibody (Cat. No. 504302/504308) as the capture antibody.
Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include: neutralization1 of mouse IL-5 bioactivity. The LEAF™ purified TRFK5 antibody (Endotoxin <0.1 EU/µg, Azide-Free, 0.2 µm filtered) is recommended for neutralization of mouse and human IL-5 bioactivity (Cat. No. 504308).
Note: For testing mouse IL-5 in serum, plasma or supernatant, BioLegend's ELISA Max™ Sets (Cat. No. 431201 to 431206) are specially developed and recommended. -
