Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets interleukin-17A (gene IL17A) in human samples and is validated for IHC. The predicted molecular weight is 17.5 kDa.
Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) is the founding member of the IL-17 cytokine family, produced mainly by Th17 cells, γδ T cells and innate lymphoid cells. Signaling through the IL17RA/IL17RC receptor and the adaptor ACT1 (TRAF3IP2), it induces chemokines, antimicrobial peptides and other inflammatory mediators, and it is a key target in psoriasis and autoimmune disease research.

Validated Applications
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 2–5 µg/mL/ml (Human) |
|---|
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human spleen 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 EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the middle region of human IL17A. Sequence identity with the mouse and rat orthologs: 88.2%.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. UniProt describes interleukin-17A as a secreted protein. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in memory Th17 cells (at protein level).
