Scientific Data Images for Mouse IL-5 Antibody
Cell Proliferation Induced by IL‑5 and Neutralization by Mouse IL‑5 Antibody.
Recombinant Mouse IL-5 (Catalog # 405-ML) stimulates proliferation in the TF-1 human erythroleukemic cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Mouse IL-5 (1.25 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Mouse IL-5 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB705). The ND50 is typically 0.7-3.5 µg/mL.Applications for Mouse IL-5 Antibody
Application
Recommended Usage
Neutralization
Measured by its ability to neutralize IL‑5-induced proliferation in the TF‑1 human erythroleukemic cell line. Kitamura, T. et al. (1989) J. Cell Physiol. 140:323. The Neutralization Dose (ND50) is typically 0.7-3.5 µg/mL in the presence of 1.25 ng/mL Recombinant Mouse IL‑5.

Background: IL-5
Interleukin 5 is a T cell-derived factor that promotes the proliferation, differentiation and activation of eosinophils. In mice, IL-5 has also been shown to be a growth and differentiation factor for B cells. Various names previously used to describe IL-5 include: T cell replacing factor (TRF), B cell growth factor II (BCGFII), B cell differentiation factor μ (BCDF μ), eosinophil differentiation factor (EDF) and eosinophil colony-stimulating factor (Eo-CSF). Biologically active IL-5 is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The cDNAs for murine and human IL-5 encode precursor proteins with signal peptides that are cleaved to form mature proteins containing 113 and 115 amino acid residues, respectively. Murine and human IL-5 are 70% identical in their amino acid sequences and show species cross-reactivity. The genes for human and mouse IL-5 have been mapped to chromosome 5 and chromosome 11, respectively; closely linked to the genes for IL-3, IL-4 and GM-CSF.
IL-5 exerts its activity on target cells by binding to specific cell surface receptors. The functional high-affinity receptor for human IL-5 has been shown to be composed of a low-affinity IL-5 binding alpha-subunit and a non-binding common beta-subunit that is shared with the high-affinity receptors for GM-CSF and IL-3.
