Interleukin-2 (human) EIA Kit

Synonyms : IL-2 (human) ELISA Kit
Stability : 6 months
Description :
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a 15.5 kDa polypeptide produced by activated T lymphocytes, primarily T helper 1 (TH1) cells. This polypeptide is important for normal immune function and is responsible for the development, proliferation and activation of T-cells, B-cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells. IL-2 is synthesized as a 153 amino acid peptide from which the first 20 amino acid are cleaved to form the mature protein. IL-2 elicits its effects by binding to a multi-subunit (IL-2Rα, IL-2Rβ, and IL-2Rγ) cell-surface receptor.IL-2 (human) EIA Kit is an immunometric (i.e., sandwich) EIA that permits IL-2 measurements within the range of 0-250 pg/ml, typically with a limit of detection of 15.6 pg/ml. This assay provides a method for the sensitive, specific analysis of IL-2 in serum, plasma, or cell culture media.
