CD25 Monoclonal Antibody (P4A10), PE-Cyanine7, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

• Description: This P4A10 monoclonal antibody reacts with canine CD25, the 55-kDa interleukin-2 receptor alpha (IL-2Ralpha) chain
• As in humans and mice, CD25 in dogs is expressed by early T and B lineage progenitors as well as by activated mature T and B lymphocytes
• CD25 associates with the IL-2R beta (CD122) and gamma (CD132) chains to form the high-affinity IL-2 receptor
• On its own, CD25 binds IL-2 with low affinity
• Along with CD4 and Foxp3, CD25 is a major marker used to define regulatory T cells
• The P4A10 antibody has been reported to recognize the same epitope as the anti-human CD25 monoclonal antibody ACT-1, but with greater affinity
• Applications Reported: This P4A10 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis
• Applications Tested: This P4A10 antibody has been pre-diluted and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal canine peripheral blood cells
• This may be used at 5 μL (0.125 μg) per test
• A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL
• Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test
• Light sensitivity: This tandem dye is sensitive to photo-induced oxidation
• Please protect this vial and stained samples from light
• Fixation: Samples can be stored in IC Fixation Buffer (Product No
• 00-8222-49) (100 μL of cell sample + 100 μL of IC Fixation Buffer) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Product No
• CD25 (IL2 receptor alpha chain/IL2RA) is a cytokine that plays a role in the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes
• The receptor of this cytokine (IL2RA) is a heterotrimeric protein complex with a gamma chain also shared by interleukin 4 (IL4) and interleukin 7 (IL7)
• IL2RA, IL2R beta chain (IL2RB), and the IL2R gamma chain (IL2RG), constitute the high-affinity IL2 receptor
• Homodimeric IL2RA chains result in low-affinity receptor, while homodimeric IL2RB chains produce a medium-affinity receptor
• The expression of IL2 in mature thymocytes is monoallelic, which represents an unusual regulatory mode for controlling the precise expression of a single gene
• IL2 is primarily produced by mature T cells
• IL2 plays an important role as a growth factor, differentiation factor, and regulator of cell death
• IL-2 stimulates the proliferation of B cells, augments natural killer cell activity, and inhibits granulocyte macrophage colony formation
• The targeted disruption of a similar gene in mice leads to μgcerative colitis-like disease, which suggests a role in the immune response to antigenic stimuli
• Mutations in this gene are associated with interleukin 2 receptor alpha deficiency.
