IL‑15 R alpha Inhibition of IL‑15-dependent Cell Proliferation and Neutralization by Human IL‑15 R alpha Antibody.

IL‑15 R alpha Inhibition of IL‑15-dependent Cell Proliferation and Neutralization by Human IL‑15 R alpha Antibody.

Recombinant Human IL-15 Ra Fc Chimera (Catalog # 147-IR) inhibits Recombinant Human IL-15 (Catalog # 247-IL) induced proliferation in the CTLL-2 mouse cytotoxic T cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Inhibition of Recombinant Human IL-15 (2 ng/mL) activity elicited by Recombinant Human IL-15 Ra Fc Chimera (30 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Human IL-15 Ra Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF247). The ND50 is typically 1-4 µg/mL.

Detection of Human IL-15R alpha by ELISA

Detection of Human IL-15R alpha by ELISA

Measured levels of sIL-15Ralpha, IL-15, IL-6 and TNFalpha in synovial fluids from RA and OA patients. Cytokine concentration of IL-15Ralpha (A), IL-15 (B), TNFalpha (C) and IL-6 (D) were measured in in duplicate SF samples from RA (n = 30) and OA (n = 30) by ELISA. Box plot represents media ± SD. Differences between two groups were performed by Mann–Whitney U test for nonparametric data. Image collected and cropped by CiteAb from the following open publication (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25879761), licensed under a CC-BY license. Not internally tested by R&D Systems.

Detection of IL-15R alpha in Human Pancreas.

Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections of human pancreas were probed for IL15Ra mRNA (ACD RNAScope Probe, catalog #532368; Fast Red chromogen, ACD catalog # 322750). Adjacent tissue section was processed for immunohistochemistry using goat anti-human IL15Ra polyclonal antibody (R&D Systems catalog # AF247) at 3ug/mL with overnight incubation at 4 degrees Celsius followed by incubation with anti-goat IgG VisUCyte HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC004) and DAB chromogen (yellow-brown). Tissue was counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to exocrine glands.

Background: IL-15R alpha

Interleukin 15 receptor alpha (IL-15 R alpha ) is a high affinity receptor that specifically binds IL-15 with high affinity and associates as a heterotrimer with the IL-2 receptors beta and gamma subunits to initiate signal transduction. IL-15 R alpha is expressed on a wide variety of T cells and B cells as well as non-lymphoid cells.
IL‑15 R alpha is a 58-60 kDa protein that shares structural similarities to the IL-2 R alpha protein. IL-15 R alpha and IL-2 R alpha genes also share similar intron-exon organization and are closely linked on human chromosome 10p14-p15. Human IL-15 R alpha shares 45% amino acid (aa) homology with the mouse form of the receptor. Eight isoforms of
IL‑15 R alpha mRNA have been identified resulting from alternative splicing events involving different exons. The exclusion of exon 2 results in an IL-15 R alpha isoform that does not bind IL-15. Human IL-15 R alpha DE3 cDNA encodes a 267 amino acid (aa) protein that contains a 30 aa signal sequence, a 175 aa extracellular region containing one N-linked glycosylation site, a 21 aa transmembrane domain, and a 41 aa cytoplasmic tail. Signaling of IL-15 can occur in one of three ways; through the heterotrimeric complex of IL-15 R alpha, IL-2 R beta, and IL-2 R gamma c, through the heterodimeric complex of IL-2 receptors beta and gamma common, through a novel 60-65 kDa IL-15 RX subunit found on mast cells. The binding of IL-15 to IL-15 R alpha has been reported to antagonize the TNF-alpha -mediated apoptosis in fibroblasts by competing with TNF RI for TRAF2 binding.

    We used this antibody in an in-house ELISA along with mAb and protein standard (147-IR-100) to quantify IL-15R alpha in human serum and plasma. This combination could not detect IL-15R alpha in our samples but generated a good standard curve.
