Anti-IL-32A Antibody Peroxidase Conjugated

IL-32A (also known as Natural killer cells protein 4, Tumor necrosis factor alpha-inducing factor, IL32α, Interleukin-32 and IL-32 isoform 4) is a member of the cytokine family. IL-32a is a secreted protein selectively expressed in lymphocytes and plays a role in innate and adaptive immune responses. The protein contains a tyrosine sulfation site, 3 potential N-myristoylation sites, multiple putative phosphorylation sites, and an RGD cell-attachment sequence. Expression of this protein is increased after the activation of T-cells by mitogens or the activation of NK cells by IL-2. This protein induces the production of TNFα and IL-8. It induces typical cytokine pathways of NF-kB and p38 MAPK. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.

This purified antibody has been heated to 56°C for 30 minutes. In ELISA and other immunoreactive assays, this antibody will recognize both native and recombinant human IL-32A in cell supernatants and certain body fluids. A control of similarly diluted normal rabbit IgG is recommended.

Store vial at 4°C prior to restoration. For extended storage aliquot contents and freeze at -20°C or below. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Expiration date is one (1) year from date of opening.

This purified antibody has been tested in western blotting and suitable for ELISA. By western blot a band approximately 15 kDa in size corresponding to native human IL-32α protein is expected in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user.
