Anti-Human IL-10

This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. For extended storage, aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Expiration date is one (1) year from date of receipt.

This antiserum has been heated to 56°C for 30 minutes. The antiserum detects recombinant and native IL-10 present in body fluids and cell supernatants in various assays (ie. IL-1 stimulated IL- 10 production from fibroblasts). In Western blot analysis of natural cell products_recover or human body fluids, multiple bands of IL-10 will appear due to the variable amount of glycosylation on the molecule. The antiserum is also useful for neutralization of human of IL-10 activity in bioassays. For neutralization, incubate the sample with a 1:400 dilution of the antiserum for at least 4 hours before being tested. A control of similarly diluted normal rabbit IgG (heat inactivated) is recommended. The antibody will not neutralize the biological activity of murine IL-10.

This antiserum has been tested for use in neutralizations, ELISA, immunohistochemistry, radioimmunoassay, immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting. The antibody recognizes hrIL-10. Reactivity in other immunoassays is unknown.
