Interleukin 17C (IL-17C) is a disulfide-linked dimer belonging to the IL-17 family. IL-17 family proteins are pro-inflammatory cytokines that induce local cytokine production and are involved in the regulation of immune functions.
Applications
Suitable for use in ELISA and Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions
Flow Cytometry: 25ug/10e6 using Tramp-C1 cells mouse prostate cancer cell line. For intracellular staining to detect IL-17C, cells must first be fixed and permeabilized using paraformaldehyde and saponin in PBS. The binding of unlabeled monoclonal antibodies may be visualized by adding a secondary developing reagent such as anti-rat IgG (PE). Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 12 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile PBS. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
