Upon antigen challenge, T-helper cells differentiate into two functional distinct subsets, Th1 and Th2.
Th1 cells produce IL-2, IFN-g and lymphotoxin-b that augment cell mediated immune response while Th2 cells secrete IL-4, IL-5, and IL-10 that enhance humoral immunity.
The function of T-helper cells is regulated by cytokines.
A novel cytokine receptor was recently identified and cloned (1,2).
It is a new member in the type I cytokine receptor family and designated TCCR for T-cell cytokine receptor and WSX-1 (1,2).
TCCR deficient mice had impaired Th1 responses to protein antigen challenge, including decreased levels of IFN-g and Th1-dependent antibody IgG2a (1).
TCCR is predominately expressed in thymus, spleen, lymph notes and peripheral blood leukocytes.
Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution: 0.5-1ug/mlOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Human spleen tissue lysate can be used as positive control
Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20°C or colder.
Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months 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.
