Biolegend, 506604, Purified anti-human IL-7 Antibody, 500μg

IL-7 is a potent lymphoid cell growth factor which promotes the proliferation of pre-B cells, thymocytes, T cell progenitors, and mature T cells. IL-7 induces formation of LAK cells and CTLs, and can stimulate tumoricidal activity of monocytes and macrophages. IL-7 can induce upregulation of proinflammatory cytokines in myeloid cells. IL-7 is expressed by stromal cells. The BVD10-11C10 monoclonal antibody is specific for human interleukin-7 (IL-7).
500μg
Verified Reactivity: Human
Antibody Type: Monoclonal
Host Species: Rat
Immunogen: E. coli - expressed, recombinant human IL-7
Formulation: Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide.
Preparation: The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography.
Concentration: 0.5 mg/ml
Storage & Handling: The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C.
Application: ELISA Detection, ELISPOT Detection
Recommended Usage: Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by ELISA assay. For ELISA detection applications, a concentration range of 1-4 µg/ml is recommended. To obtain a linear standard curve, serial dilutions of IL-7 recombinant protein ranging from 500 to 4 pg/ml are recommended for each ELISA plate. For use as an ELISPOT detection antibody, a concentration range of 2-8 µg/ml is recommended. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
Application Notes: ELISA or ELISPOT Detection: The biotinylated BVD10-11C10 antibody is useful as a detection antibody for a sandwich ELISA or ELISPOT assay, when used in conjunction with the purified BVD10-40F6 antibody (Cat. No. 501302/501304) as the capture antibody.Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include: The BVD10-11C10 is a non-neutralizing antibody.
