Chicken IL-16 ELISpot
Chicken IL-16 ELISpot contains Capture Antibody, Standard Control, and Detection Antibody for development of up to two (2) ELISpot assays. Other required materials and reagents are not supplied. The antibodies have been determined to function in an ELISpot with the Standard Control provided. Components may also be purchased separately. For research use only.
Product Specifications
Background
IL-16 is a pleiotropic cytokine that has been characterized as a chemoattractant for certain immune cells expressing the cell surface molecule CD4, and has effects on mixed lymphocyte reaction and inhibition of HIV viral replication. IL-16 forms homotetramers and this structure is required for its bioactivity. The cytokine function is exclusively attributed to the secreted C-terminal peptide, while the N-terminal product may play a role in cell cycle control. IL-16 is released by a variety of immune (T cells, esinophils, and dendritic cells) and non-immune (fibroblasts, epithelial, and neurona) cells. In the non-diseased state, IL-16 mRNA is almost exclusively expressed on lymphatic tissue, and high levels in T cells. During inflammation, IL-16 is synthesized in a number of other tissues.
