Basic Information  | |
Specificity  | This antibody is specific for human rIL-5, and does not cross-react with human rIL-1α, rIL-lβ, rIL- 4, rIL-8, rM-CSF, or rTGF-α.  | 
Alternative Name  | interleukin 5; IL5; IL 5; Eosinophil differentiation factor  | 
UniProt  | C9JQP9  | 
Immunogen  | This antibody was raised by immunising CAF1 mice with human recombinant IL-5.  | 
Application Notes  | This antibody has been show to inhibit the binding of human rIL-5 to the alpha chain of the IL-5 receptor (Ames et al, 1995). This antibody inhibits the proliferation of murine B13 cells in response to human IL-5 (Ames et al, 1995).Neutralising antibodies against IL-5 represent a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of eosinophilia. The specificity of this antibody for human IL-5 has been confirmed in ELISA analysis (Ames et al, 1995).  |
