Anti-Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the TSLP gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 159 amino acid residues and a mass of 18.1 kDa. It is known to be a secreted protein. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 2 different isoforms for this protein. It is a reported cytokine that induces the release of T-cell-attracting chemokines from monocytes and, in particular, enhances the maturation of CD11c(+) dendritic cells. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. Over 130 citations in the literature describe the use of Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin antibodies in research. ELISA is a widely used application for these antibodies. Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
