Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E. coli-derived human IL-22 recombinant protein (Position: A34-I179). Human IL-22 shares 81.4% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse IL-22. (reported region: A34-I179).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 24 kDa; calculated MW: 20011 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: ELISA, IHC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Interleukin-22. Interleukin-22 (IL-22), also known as ILTIF, is protein that in humans is encoded by the IL22 gene. IL-22 a member of a group of cytokines called the IL-10 family or IL-10 superfamily, a class of potent mediators of cellular inflammatory responses. Using FISH, the IL22 gene is mapped to chromosome 12q15, close to the IFNG and the herpesvirus saimiri-induced AK155 genes. IL-22 can contribute to immune disease through the stimulation of inflammatory responses, S100s and defensins. It also promotes hepatocyte survival in the liver and epithelial cells in the lung and gut similar to IL-10. In some contexts, the pro-inflammatory versus tissue-protective functions of IL-22 are regulated by the often co-expressed cytokine IL-17A. Functional note: Cytokine that contributes to the inflammatory response in vivo. Reported localization: Secreted. Expression/tissue context: Expressed in keratinocytes of epidermis and hair follicle (PubMed:27907090). Expressed strongly in microvascular invasion (MVI) formation, basal-like breast cancer (BLBC) and hepatocellular tumors (PubMed:20406990, PubMed:22991501). Expressed in breast cancers (at protein level) (PubMed:26565916). Expressed in hematopoietic cells (PubMed:8499623).
Research relevance and current trends
- Adapters: Researchers commonly examine how IL22 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.

Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative IL22 levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of IL22 across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.
- ELISA-compatible use: when applicable, interpret signal as relative abundance across sample sets with consistent handling and dilution strategy.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
