Scientific Data Images for Mouse IL-15 Antibody

Cell Proliferation Induced by IL‑15 and Neutralization by Mouse IL‑15 Antibody.

Cell Proliferation Induced by IL‑15 and Neutralization by Mouse IL‑15 Antibody.

Recombinant Mouse IL-15 (Catalog # 447-ML) stimulates proliferation in the CTLL-2 mouse cytotoxic T cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line) as measured by Resazurin (Catalog # AR002). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Mouse IL-15 (30 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Mouse IL-15 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF447). The ND50 is typically 0.4-2.4 µg/mL.
IL-15 antibody in Mouse Intestine by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-Fr).

IL-15 in Mouse Intestine.

IL-15 was detected in immersion fixed frozen sections of mouse intestine (Peyer patch) using Goat Anti-Mouse IL-15 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF447) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific labeling was localized to the cytoplasm of lymphocytes in villi. View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Frozen Tissue Sections.

Detection of IL-15 in Mouse Intestine.

Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections of mouse intestine were probed for IL-15 mRNA (ACD RNAScope Probe, catalog # 440651; Fast Red chromogen, ACD catalog # 322360). Adjacent tissue section was processed for immunohistochemistry using goat anti-mouse IL-15 polyclonal antibody (R&D Systems catalog # AF447) at 1ug/mL with overnight incubation at 4 degrees Celsius followed by incubation with anti-goat IgG VisUCyte HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC004) and DAB chromogen (yellow-brown). Tissue was counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to glandular cells.

Background: IL-15

Interleukin 15 (IL-15) is a widely expressed 14 kDa cytokine that is structurally and functionally related to IL-2 (1-3). Mature mouse IL-15 shares 70% and 96% amino acid sequence identity with human and rat IL-15, respectively. Alternate splicing generates isoforms of IL-15 with either a long or short signal peptide (LSP or SSP), and the SSP isoform is retained intracellularly (4). IL-15 binds with high affinity to IL-15 R alpha (5). It binds with lower affinity to a complex of IL-2 R beta and the common gamma chain ( gammac) which are also subunits of the IL-2 receptor complex (1, 6). IL-15 associates with IL-15 R alpha in the endoplasmic reticulum, and this complex is expressed on the cell surface (7, 8). The dominant mechanism of IL-15 action is known as transpresentation in which IL-15 and IL-15 R alpha are coordinately expressed on the surface of one cell and interact with complexes of IL-2 R beta/ gammac on adjacent cells (9). This enables cells to respond to IL-15 even if they do not express IL-15 R alpha (8, 10). Soluble IL-15-binding forms of IL-15 R alpha can be generated by proteolytic shedding or alternate splicing (11-13). These molecules retain the ability to bind tightly to IL-15 and can either inhibit or augment IL-15 function (5, 12, 13). Consistent with its shared use of IL-2 receptor subunits, IL-15 induces IL-2-like effects in lymphocyte development and homeostasis (3). It is particularly important for the maintenance and activation of NK cells and CD8+ memory T cells (3). IL-15 also exerts pleiotropic effects on other hematopoietic cells and non-immune cells (2). Ligation of membrane-associated IL-15/IL-15 R alpha complexes induces reverse signaling that promotes cellular adhesion, tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular proteins, and cytokine secretion by the IL-15/IL-15 R alpha expressing cells (14, 15).
