Anti-CD122 Monoclonal Antibody (Clone:TU27)

CD122 (IL-2/IL-15R beta) constitutes together with CD132 (common gamma chain) and with CD25 (IL-2/IL15R alpha) the intermediate (CD122+CD132) and the high affinity (CD122+CD132+CD25) IL-2 and IL-15 receptor complex. CD122 is expressed on NK cells and lymphocytes, but at low level, unless the cell is activated. The cytoplasmic part of CD122 binds to Src-family and Jak-family kinases. The biological effect of CD122 ligation depends on whether IL-2 or IL-15 is bound to the receptor complex.
