96 Tests PN: A211134
32 Tests PN: A211134T
Components:
45x Ab-conjugated beads (S4P12 - Mouse IL-17A Ab-bead).
25x Biotin-detection Ab (Mouse IL-17A Biotin-dAb).
Lyophilized Standard Mix - Mouse Group 1 Panel A, 7-Plex.
Application: Optimal antibody pair and antigen standard for assaying human Mouse IL-17A/CTLA-8. Can be multiplexed with other analytes in Mouse Group 1. To be used in conjunction with the AimPlex Mouse/Rat Basic Kit (96 Tests PN: P200201, 32 Tests PN: P200201T) and a diluent kit. Refer to the AimPlex Multiplex Immunoassay User Manual and kit inserts for the assay procedure.
Storage: 2-8 C in the dark.
Important: Sodium azide forms explosive compounds with heavy metals. These products contain <0.05% (w/w) azide which with repeated contact with lead and copper commonly found in plumbing drains may result in the buildup of shock sensitive compounds. Dispose in accordance with regulations from your institute.

Description:
Interleukin 17A (Accession Q62386) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine, secreted by T cells, primarily Th17 cells. IL-17A mediates NF-kappa B activity and can activate the expression of IL-6 and the enzyme prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2. Over expression of IL-17A has been associated with multiple sclerosis, irritable bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, COPD, and ocular diseases. However, there is more recent research to suggest that IL-17A may have beneficial effects on the gut. Active form vitamin D has been linked to impaired production of IL-17 production by Th17 cells.
