MyBioSource.com's Rabbit anti CD25 Polyclonal Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunohistochemistry, Immunoprecipitation, and Western Blot. The Rabbit anti CD25 Polyclonal Antibody was generated using IL2RA, Peripheral Myelin Protein 22, and PMP22 as the antigen and it reacts with Human.
Description
The IL2 receptor (IL2R) exists in three alternative forms made up from the individual components of CD25, CD122, and CD132. CD25 represents the low affinity alpha chain of the IL2R, a type I transmembrane glycoprotein containing two CCP domains. It is rich in O linked carbohydrates and has a short cytoplasmic tail. CD25 is expressed on activated T cells, B cells, NK cells and monocytes of all mouse strains tested. It is transiently expressed at a low level during B cell development in bone marrow on the CD45R/B220 low TdT- sIg- pre-B II and CD45R/B220low TdT- sIgM+sIgD- immature B cells, but not on the CD45R/B220 low TdT+ sIg- pro-B/pre B I stage nor on CD45R/B220high TdT- sIgM+sIgD+ mature B cells. CD25 is expressed at a higher level during very early T cell development in fetal and adult thymus. CD25 expression is a common denominator of a specific immunomodulatory B-cell subset ready to proliferate upon IL-2 stimulation
