Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects interleukin-15 receptor subunit alpha (gene IL15RA) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for ELISA, flow cytometry, ICC/IF, IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 28.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 28 kDa.
IL15RA is the high-affinity α chain of the interleukin-15 receptor. It binds IL-15 and typically presents it in trans to neighboring cells that express the IL-2/IL-15Rβ and common γ chains, a mechanism that supports NK cell and memory CD8+ T-cell homeostasis.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human placenta tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:10000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): mouse brain tissue, rat brain tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in citrate buffer (pH 6).
Samples with confirmed staining (ICC/IF): K562 cells.
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): K562 cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant human IL15RA fragment (Ile31–Thr174), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places interleukin-15 receptor subunit alpha in the membrane, nuclear membrane and cell surface. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in neutrophils (at protein level). The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
