Scientific Data Images for Human IL-21 Antibody (148002)

Human IL‑21 Antibody in ELISA Standard Curve.

Human IL‑21 ELISA Standard Curve.

Recombinant Human IL-21 protein was serially diluted 2-fold and captured by Mouse Anti-Human IL-21 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1500) coated on a Clear Polystyrene Microplate (Catalog # DY990). Goat Anti-Human IL-21 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF15001) was biotinylated and incubated with the protein captured on the plate. Detection of the standard curve was achieved by incubating Streptavidin-HRP (Catalog # DY998) followed by Substrate Solution (Catalog # DY999) and stopping the enzymatic reaction with Stop Solution (Catalog # DY994).

Applications for Human IL-21 Antibody (148002)

Application
Recommended Usage

ELISA

This antibody functions as an ELISA capture antibody when paired with Goat Anti-Human IL‑21 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF15001).

This product is intended for assay development on various assay platforms requiring antibody pairs. We recommend the Human IL-21 DuoSet ELISA Kit (Catalog # DY8879-05) for convenient development of a sandwich ELISA.

Background: IL-21

Interleukin-21 (IL-21) is an approximately 14 kDa four-helix-bundle member of the family of cytokines that utilize the common gamma chain ( gamma c) as a receptor subunit. gamma c is also a subunit of the receptors for IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, and IL-15 (1). IL-21 is produced by activated T follicular helper cells (Tfh), Th17 cells, and NKT cells (2-6). It exerts its biological effects through a heterodimeric receptor complex of gamma c and the IL-21-specific IL-21 R (2, 7). Tfh-derived IL-21 plays an important role in the development of humoral immunity through its autocrine effects on the Tfh cell and paracrine effects on immunoglobulin affinity maturation, plasma cell differentiation, and B cell memory responses (4, 8, 9). It is also required for the migration of dendritic cells to draining lymph nodes (10). IL-21 regulates several aspects of T cell function. It co-stimulates the activation, proliferation, and survival of CD8+ T cells and NKT cells and promotes Th17 cell polarization (3, 5, 6, 11, 12). It blocks the generation of regulatory T cells and their suppressive effects on CD4+ T cells (13, 14). IL-21 R engagement enhances the cytolytic activity and IFN-gamma production of activated NK cells but limits the expansion of resting NK cells (15). In addition, IL-21 suppresses cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions by limiting allergen-specific IgE production and mast cell degranulation (16). Dysregulation of the IL-21/IL-21 R system contributes to the development of multiple immunological disorders (1, 17). The 133 amino acid (aa) mature human IL-21 shares 63% and 61% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat IL-21, respectively. Alternative splicing generates an additional isoform with a substitution of the C-terminal 16 amino acids (18).
