Scientific Data Images for Mouse IL-21 APC-conjugated Antibody

Detection of IL-21 antibody in Mouse Splenocytes antibody by Flow Cytometry.

Detection of IL‑21 in Mouse Splenocytes by Flow Cytometry.

Mouse splenocytes either untreated (light orange filled histogram) or treated with PMA and Calcium Ionomycin (dark orange filled histogram) were stained with Rat Anti-Mouse IL-21 APC-conjugated Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # IC594A, filled histogram) or isotype control antibody (Catalog # IC013A, open histogram). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with Flow Cytometry Fixation Buffer (Catalog # FC004) and permeabilized with Flow Cytometry Permeabilization/Wash Buffer I (Catalog # FC005).

Background: IL-21

Interleukin-21 (IL-21) and its receptor appear to play important roles in the regulation of the immune system. IL-21 is most related to IL-2, IL-4, and IL-15. IL-21 R, also called NILR (Novel Interleukin Receptor), is a type I cytokine receptor with 4 conserved cysteine residues and an extracellular WSXWS motif. It is most closely related to IL-2 R beta and IL-4 R alpha. Mouse IL-21 is a 146 amino acid (aa) residue protein with a 24 aa signal peptide. Mouse and human IL-21 share 57% aa identity. IL‑21 is expressed by activated T cells. Although not fully elucidated, the IL-2 R gamma ( gammac) chain appears to play a role in IL-21 R signaling. The IL-21/IL-21 R interaction appear to play important roles in B and T cell proliferation after antigen stimulation and NK cell maturation.
