Scientific Data Images for Human CD25/IL-2R alpha Antibody

Detection of Human CD25/IL-2R alpha antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human CD25/IL-2R alpha by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of HDLM-2 human Hodgkin's lymphoma cell line and PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line (negative control). PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human CD25/IL-2R alpha Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-223-NA) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF017). A specific band was detected for CD25/IL-2R alpha at approximately 60 kDa (as indicated). GAPDH (AF5718) is shown as a loading control.This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Western Blot Shows Human CD25/IL-2R alpha Specificity by Using Knockout Cell Line.

Western blot shows lysates of HDLM-2 human Hodgkin’s lymphoma cell line and human CD25/IL-2 R alpha knockout HDLM-2 human Hodgkin’s lymphoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human CD25/IL-2R alpha Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-223-NA) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF017). A specific band was detected for CD25/IL-2R alpha at approximately 60 kDa (as indicated) in the parental HDLM-2 human Hodgkin’s lymphoma cell line cell line, but is not detectable in knockout HDLM-2 human Hodgkin’s lymphoma cell line cell line. GAPDH (AF5718) is shown as a loading control. This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Western Blot Buffer Group 1.
Cell Proliferation Induced by IL‑2 and Neutralization by Human CD25/IL‑2 R alpha Antibody.

Cell Proliferation Induced by IL‑2 and Neutralization by Human CD25/IL‑2 R alpha Antibody.

Recombinant Human IL-2 (202-IL) stimulates proliferation in the N1186 human T cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Human IL-2 (1 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Human CD25/IL-2 Ra Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-223-NA). The ND50 is typically 0.2-1 µg/mL.

Applications for Human CD25/IL-2R alpha Antibody

Application
Recommended Usage

CyTOF-ready

Ready to be labeled using established conjugation methods. No BSA or other carrier proteins that could interfere with conjugation.

Flow Cytometry

2.5 µg/106 cells
Sample: Human whole blood lymphocytes

Knockout Validated

CD25/IL-2R alpha is specifically detected in HDLM‑2 human Hodgkin's lymphoma cell line parental cell line but is not detectable in CD25/IL-2R alpha knockout HDLM‑2 human Hodgkin's lymphoma cell line cell line.

Western Blot

1 µg/mL
Sample: HDLM‑2 human Hodgkin's lymphoma cell line

Neutralization

Measured by its ability to neutralize IL‑2-induced proliferation in the N1186 human T cell line. The Neutralization Dose (ND50) is typically 0.2-1 µg/mL in the presence of 1 ng/mL Recombinant Human IL‑2.

Background: CD25/IL-2R alpha

Human CD25, also known as IL-2 receptor alpha (IL-2 R alpha) and asTac antigen, was initially identified as a 55 kDa membrane glycoprotein that is capable of binding IL-2. The IL-2 R alpha cDNA encodes a 272 amino acid residue precursor Type I membrane protein with a 21 residue signal peptide, a 219 residue extracellular region, a 19 residue transmembrane region and a 13 residue cytoplasmic domain. IL-2 R alpha lacks structural features characteristic of members of the cytokine receptor superfamily. By itself, IL-2 R alpha binds IL-2 with low affinity. However, when IL-2 R alpha is associated with the IL-2 receptor beta and gamma chains, a high affinity heterotrimeric receptor complex that transduces IL-2 signals is formed. Soluble forms of many cytokine receptors have been reported, and a soluble form of IL-2 R alpha (IL-2 sR alpha) appears in serum, concomitant with its increased expression on cells. The function of the soluble IL-2 R alpha is unclear. Increased levels of IL-2 sR alpha in biological fluids reportedly correlate with increased T and B cell activation and immune system activation. Increased serum concentration of IL-2 sR alpha has been observed in patients with a variety of inflammatory conditions and in the course of some leukemias and lymphomas.
