Recombinant Active Mouse IL17A Protein, His-tagged(C-ter)

• Cat.No.: Il17a-149M
• Product Overview: Recombinant Active Mouse IL17A Protein with His tag (C-ter) was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Description: The protein encoded by this gene is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated T cells. This cytokine regulates the activities of NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases. This cytokine can stimulate the expression of IL6 and cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX-2), as well as enhance the production of nitric oxide (NO). High levels of this cytokine are associated with several chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

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.
