Active Recombinant Mouse Il17a Protein (133 aa)

• Cat.No.: Il17a-253I
• Product Overview: Recombinant murine IL-17A is a 15-20kDa glycosylated cytokine of 133 amino acid polypeptide chain that plays an important role in antimicrobial and chronic inflammation. IL-17 exhibits multiple biological activities on a variety of cells including the induction of IL-6 and IL-8 production in fibroblasts, the enhancement of surface expression of ICAM-1 in fibroblasts, activation of NF-κB and costimulation of T cell proliferation.

Specification

• Description: Interleukin-17A, (also known as CTLA-8) is a T cell-expressed pleiotropic cytokine that exhibits a high degree of homology to a protein encoded by the ORF13 gene of herpesvirus Saimiri. cDNA clones encoding IL-17 have been isolated from activated rat, mouse and human T cells. IL-17 represents a family of structurally-related cytokines that share a highly conserved C-terminal region but differ from one another in their N-terminal regions and in their distinct biological roles. The six known members of this family, IL-17A through IL-17F, are secreted as homodimers.

Q&As

Could you explain the role of IL17A in autoimmune disease progression using animal models?

Animal models, such as experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, explore IL17A's role in autoimmunity.

Can you detail the protocols for inducing IL17A expression in T cells in vitro?

Inducing IL17A expression in T cells involves culturing them with specific cytokines.

What strategies elucidate IL17A's impact on tissue-specific inflammation in human samples?

Studying IL17A's influence on tissue-specific inflammation in humans involves analyzing patient samples.

Can you elaborate on the use of neutralizing antibodies in blocking IL17A's effects?

Neutralizing antibodies block IL17A's effects in cell cultures or animal models.

How does one perform a multiplex cytokine assay to quantify IL17A along with other cytokines?

Multiplex cytokine assays use fluorescent beads to measure IL17A and other cytokines simultaneously.

How is the IL17A receptor (IL17RA) signaling pathway activated and studied?

IL17RA signaling is triggered by IL17A binding and is studied through downstream phosphorylation assays.

What are the methods to investigate the impact of IL17A on epithelial barrier integrity?

Methods like transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) assay evaluate IL17A's effect on barrier function.

How is IL17A's contribution to neutrophil recruitment assessed in inflammatory models?

Inflammatory models, like airway inflammation assays, examine IL17A's impact on neutrophil recruitment.

What techniques are used to analyze IL17A-producing cell populations within a tissue?

Flow cytometry or intracellular staining help identify IL17A-producing cell subsets within tissues.

What experimental design is employed to understand IL17A's involvement in cancer development?

Experimental designs combine cancer cell lines with IL17A stimulation to investigate its pro-tumor effects.
