IL-17/IL-17A Antibody (41809) [Alexa Fluor® 488]

Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) either (A) untreated or (B) stimulated to induce Th17 cells were stained with Mouse Anti-Human IL-17/IL-17A Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # IC317G) and Mouse Anti-Human CD3e APC-conjugated Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # FAB100A). Quadrant markers were set based on control antibody staining (Catalog # IC0041G). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with Flow Cytometry Fixation Buffer (Catalog # FC004) and permeabilized with Flow Cytometry Permeabilization/Wash Buffer I (Catalog # FC005).

Background

Interleukin 17, also known as IL-17A and CTLA-8, is a 20-22 kDa, secreted pleiotropic cytokine that exhibits a high degree of homology to a protein encoded by the ORF13 gene of herpesvirus Saimiri. Human IL-17 cDNA encodes a 155 amino acid (aa) residue precursor protein with a 23 amino acid residue signal peptide that is cleaved to yield the 132 aa residue mature IL-17. Both recombinant and natural IL-17 have been shown to exist as disulfide linked homodimers. IL-17 is also known to form a heterodimer with 20-24 kDa IL-17F. At the amino acid level, hIL-17 shows 62% aa sequence identity with mouse IL-17. The receptor for the IL-17A homodimer and IL-17A:F heterodimer is reported to be a combination of IL-17 RA and IL-17 RC, with a possible contribution by IL-17 RD. The expression of IL-17 is widespread, and found associated with mast cells, LTi cells, B cells, gamma δ T cells, CD4⁺ Th17 cells, iNKT cells, neutrophils, intestinal Paneth cells, Type I ILCs and CD8⁺ T_c17 cells. IL-17 exhibits multiple biological activities on a variety of cells, including: the induction of IL-6 and IL-8 production by fibroblasts, the enhancement of surface expression of ICAM-1 on fibroblasts, activation of NF-kappa B and costimulation of T cell proliferation, the preservation of intestinal mucosal integrity via claudin synthesis, and the induction of antimicrobial peptides by epithelium.

FAQs for IL-17/IL-17A Antibody (IC317G). (Showing 1 - 2 of 2 FAQ).

1. I want to stain some T cell subsets (Th17 and Th1), do you have antibodies for that? I need for flow cytometer in sheep or goat.
   • Unfortunately, we have neither a CD4 antibody nor an IL-17 antibody that has been validated in sheep or goat, although if you would like to try one you would again be eligible for our Innovators Reward Program. Please contact us at innovators@novusbio.com with any questions regarding this program.
2. I'm looking to establish an ELISA for IL-17 and want your recommendation on which antibody pairs to buy. Least expensive ones, please. Also, I'd like the detection antibody to be fluorescently labeled.
   • Thank you for your patience while I reviewed our ELISA validated products for IL17. I was not sure what species you were going to be investigating, so I looked up our data for the human protein. If this is incorrect, just let me know and I can look up products for the species you will be working with. As for antibody pairs, we only had one set that have been tested together: Capture: NBP2-22531 Detection: NBP2-22532. The detection product is only available currently with a biotin conjugate. We can however offer custom conjugation for this product to any of our available conjugates. Please see the this link to see the available fluors. The typical fee for custom conjugation is usually about $80 additional. Once you know which fluor you would like, I can provide you with a quote. We do also offer several ELISA kits for this target (they typically employ HRP or Biotin detection systems, so I am not sure if they will work for your needs).
