General description
The Rat IL-2 ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of rat IL-2 in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants and urine.
IL-2 (interleukin-2) codes for a pro-inflammatory cytokine. IL-2 is mostly expressed in T helper cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant Rat IL-2
Application
Rat IL-2 ELISA Kit has been used to measure the presence of IL-2 in in rat colonic tissue.
For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Please refer to the attached General ELISA KIT Procedure (sandwich, competitive & Indirect ELISA)
Biochem/physiol Actions
IL-2 (interleukin-2) expression is known to reduce with age and results in influenza infection, neoplasms and lethal autoimmunity. IL-2 participates in T cell proliferation and differentiation and controls the homeostasis of T cell. As a part of immune response, IL-2 stimulates the action of T helper cell 1 and 2 cells and endothelial white blood cells of skeletal muscles. IL-2 regulation is controlled by c-rel protein. IL-2 is a neurotrophic molecule and has special functions in cortical, hippocampal, septal, cerebellar and retinal neurons.
