From | Recombinant Antibody |
Isotype | Engineer antibody |
Application | IP, ELISA, FC, IF |
Species Reactivity | Human |
Basic Information | |
Specificity | This antibody is specific for human interleukin 2 (IL2) receptor alpha (IL2RA), which is expressed by activated T cells. IL2R alpha chains can exist as low-affinity monomers, or can non-covalently associate with IL2R beta chains to form high-affinity dimers. |
Alternative Name | IL2-RA; Interleukin-2 receptor subunit alpha; IL-2-RA; IL-2R subunit alpha; TAC antigen; p55; Receptor for interleukin-2 |
UniProt | P01589 |
Immunogen | This antibody was raised by injecting mice intraperitoneally and subcutaneously with Hong Kong influenza virus-stimulated PBMC, which express human IL-2 receptor alpha. Immune splenocytes were subsequently fused with SP2/0 cells to produce stable hybridomas. |
Application Notes | This antibody recognises human IL2RA, as confirmed by immunofluorescence, FACS and immunoprecipitation analysis (Rubin et al, 1985). Sequential immunoprecipitations have shown that 7G7/B6 binds to the same 50-55 kD surface molecule as anti-Tac, a murine mAb specific for the human IL-2 receptor. However, 7G7/B6 does not compete with IL-2 and anti-Tac for binding to IL2R expressed by activated PBMCs, indicating that 7G7/B6 recognises a distinct epitope on IL2R. 7G7/B6, therefore, recognises a different epitope on IL-2Rα to the humanised anti-Tac monoclonal antibody daclizumab (Zhang et al, 2006). Equally, although 7G7/B6 binds to a different epitope on IL2 Rα to IL-2, and is, therefore, unable to block IL-2/IL2 Rα interaction, 7G7/B6 is still able to delay tumour progression and prolong survival in mouse models of adult T-cell leukaemia (ATL) (Phillips et al, 2000), likely by FcR- mediated death by FcRIII-expressing cells. Administration of 7B7/B6 radiolabelled with astatine-211 (211At- 7G7/B6) to karpas299 leukaemia–bearing mice significantly increased survival, highlighting the potential therapeutic role for 211At-7G7/B6 in the treatment of patients with CD25-expressing leukaemias (Zhang et al, 2006). |
