• Preparation: Produced from sera of rabbits immunized with highly pure Recombinant Human IL-17F
• Anti-Human IL-17F-specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and then biotinylated
• Sandwich ELISA: To detect hIL-17F by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.25-1.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required
• This biotinylated polyclonal antibody, in conjunction with PeproTech Polyclonal Anti-Human IL-17F (500-P90) as a capture antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of Recombinant hIL-17F
• Western Blot: To detect hIL-17F by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 μg/mL
• Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for Recombinant hIL-17F is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions
• 500-P90BT-1MG will be provided as 2 x 500 μg IL-17F (Interleukin 17F, CTLA-8)) is a cytokine belonging to the IL-17 family that is produced by inflammatory cells such as activated T cells, mast cells, and basophils
• IL-17F is involved in allergic airway inflammation, and can induce several cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules in bronchial epithelial cells, vein endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and eosinophils
• IL-17F may be secreted as a homodimer, or a heterodimer with IL17A
• It acts by binding to the type I receptor, IL-17R, aiding recruitment of monocytes and neutrophils at the site of inflammation by increasing chemokine production
• IL-17F also stimulates induction of other pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6, and IL-8, and reports strongly suggest the involvement of IL-17 in several chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis
• TGF-beta (differentiation) and IL-23 (expansion) are required for induction and maintenance of Th17 (IL-17 producing) cells, which in turn induce the other pro-inflammatory cytokines
• IL-17F is produced, and exists, as a homo-dimer, with homology to a herpes virus early protein, is one of the six members (IL-17A-F) of this cytokine family, and is well characterized and highly expressed by activated effector memory T cells
• IL-17F has been found to inhibit the angiogenesis of endothelial cells and induce endothelial cells to produce IL2, TGFB1/TGFB, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1.
