Description Interleukin 5 (IL-5) is pre-dominantly secreted by CD4+ T cells. It is involved in a range of allergic reactions and mediates immune reactions against parasites. IL-5 also acts on other cell types such as B cells. | The Anti-IL-5 antibody has been designed for intracellular staining of IL-5–producing cells. Cells can be stimulated for IL-5-production, for example, by polyclonal stimulation with mitogens. For induction of IL-5 production by antigen-specific T cells, cells are restimulated with respective antigen. IL-5 can be accumulated in the cells by addition of secretion inhibitors like brefeldin A. After fixation and permeabilization of the cell sample, IL-5–producing cells can be stained intracellularly with Anti-IL-5 antibodies. Staining of surface markers allows simultaneous flow cytometric analysis of subsets and activation status of the IL-5–producing cells. Magnetically enriched cells can be stained intracellularly for IL-5 production directly on the MACS Column. This procedure ensures higher sensitivity of detection and minimizes loss of cells during washing procedures. The protocol is useful for cytokine analysis of rare cells, for example, CD4+ T cells in HIV patients, or other cell sources than peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), e.g., bronchoalveolar lavages or synovial fluids.
About IL-5 and Vio 515
IL-5 This gene encodes a cytokine that acts as a growth and differentiation factor for both B cells and eosinophils. The encoded cytokine plays a major role in the regulation of eosinophil formation, maturation, recruitment and survival. The increased production of this cytokine may be related to pathogenesis of eosinophil-dependent inflammatory diseases. This cytokine functions by binding to its receptor, which is a heterodimer, whose beta subunit is shared with the receptors for interleukine 3 (IL3) and colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF2/GM-CSF). This gene is located on chromosome 5 within a cytokine gene cluster which includes interleukin 4 (IL4), interleukin 13 (IL13), and CSF2 . This gene, IL4, and IL13 may be regulated coordinately by long-range regulatory elements spread over 120 kilobases on chromosome 5q31. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
