CD8+T cells, some B cells, and dendritic cells also produce IL-2.What allows the protein to bind to its receptor?The N-terminal 20 amino acids are essential for protein-receptor interaction.What are the post-translational modifications of IL-2?IL-2 may present glycosylation, yet the function of this modification has not been confirmed.What is the role of IL-2?IL-2 is a key immunoregulatory cytokine that promotes proliferation of helper T cells, upregulating its own secretion, while also increasing activity of regulatory T cells and providing negative feedback to its production and the immune response as a whole. IL-2 is also a growth factor for natural killer cells and an upregulator of B cell antibody expression and secretion.What activates the IL-2 pathway?Combined T cell antigen receptor and CD28 signals allow for maximum activation of the IL-2 pathway.How does IL-2 expression change during an immune response?During an immune response, CD4+and CD8+T cells will secrete increased amounts of IL-2 to be consumed by regulatory T cells.How do the responses to strong and weak IL-2 signals differ?Strong IL-2 levels promote antigen-specific T cells to differentiate into effector T cells, responding immediately to a stimulus or threat. Weak IL-2 signals, however, result in effector T cells to differentiate into helper or memory T cells.What negatively regulates IL-2?Immunoregulatory CD4+CD5+T cells in inhibit IL-2 production by helper T cells.(PMIDs: 22343569, 24376444, 15473953)\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\nTested Reactivity: human, mouse\nCited Reactivity: human, mouse, rat\nHost \/ Isotype: Rabbit \/ IgG\nClass: Polyclonal\nType: Antibody\nImmunogen: CatNo: Ag24079 Product name: Recombinant mouse IL-2 protein Source: e coli. -derived, PGEX-4T Tag: GST Domain: 21-169 aa of NM-008366 Sequence: APTSSSTSSSTAEAQQQQQQQQQQQQHLEQLLMDLQELLSRMENYRNLKLPRMLTFKFYLPKQATELKDLQCLEDELGPLRHVLDLTQSKSFQLEDAENFISNIRVTVVKLKGSDNTFECQFDDESATVVDFLRRWIAFCQSIISTSPQ Predict reactive species\nFull Name: interleukin 2\nCalculated Molecular Weight: 19 kDa\nObserved Molecular Weight: 19 kDa\nGenBank Accession Number: NM-008366\nGene Symbol: IL-2\nGene ID (NCBI): 16183\nRRID: AB_2880407\nConjugate: Unconjugated\nForm: Liquid\nPurification Method: Antigen affinity purification\nUNIPROT ID: P04351\nStorage Buffer: PBS with 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, pH 7.3.\nStorage Conditions: Store at -20°C.
