Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E. coli-derived human IL17B recombinant protein (Position: Q21-F180). (reported region: Q21-F180).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 17 kDa; calculated MW: nan
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: ELISA, 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 17B. The protein encoded by this gene is a T cell-derived cytokine that shares sequence similarity with IL17. This cytokine was reported to stimulate the release of TNF alpha (TNF) and IL1 beta (IL1B) from a monocytic cell line. Immunohistochemical analysis of several nerve tissues indicated that this cytokine is primarily localized to neuronal cell bodies. Functional note: Stimulates the release of tumor necrosis factor alpha and IL-1-beta from the monocytic cell line THP-1. Reported localization: Secreted. Expression/tissue context: Expressed in adult pancreas, small intestine, stomach, spinal cord and testis. Less pronounced expression in prostate, colon mucosal lining, and ovary.
Research relevance and current trends
- Cytokines: Researchers commonly examine how IL17B relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Immunology: Researchers commonly examine how IL17B relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Innate Immunity: Researchers commonly examine how IL17B relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative IL17B levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- 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.
