IL-23 p19 Monoclonal Antibody (fc23cpg), eFluor™ 660, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

Description: This fc23cpg monoclonal antibody reacts with the p19 subunit of mouse IL-23, a heterodimeric cytokine made up of two disulfide-linked subunits, p40 and p19. It is closely related to IL-12, with which it shares the p40 subunit. IL-23 signals through a heterodimeric receptor expressed on activated T cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells. The receptor shares the IL-12Rbeta1 chain with IL-12, while the IL-23R chain is unique to the IL-23 receptor complex. Binding of IL-23 to its receptor activates Jak/STAT pathways similarly to IL-12, but the two cytokines exhibit distinct functions. Unlike IL-12, which induces T-bet and Th1 differentiation, IL-23 signaling results in RORgammat expression and supports CD4^+ T cells with the Th17 phenotype Dendritic cells and macrophages produce IL-23 in response to TLR2, TLR4, and TLR8 ligands, as well as agonists of the beta-glucan receptor, Dectin-1. Our studies suggest donor, kinetics and type of stimulant can result in variation in IL-23 expression levels. Recent publications suggest the p19 subunit may also exist in the absence of association with p40. Applications Reported: This fc23cpg antibody has been reported for use by intracellular staining and flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This fc23cpg antibody has been tested by intracellular staining and flow cytometric analysis. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.06 μg per test.
