Detection of Human IL‑2 by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of monensin treated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with no additional treatment (-) or additionally treated (+) with 0.5 μg/mL calcium ionomycin (Iono) and 50 ng/mL PMA overnight. PVDF membrane was probed with 2 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human/Rat IL-2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-502-NA) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF017). A specific band was detected for IL-2 at approximately 14 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

IL‑2 in Rat Splenocytes. IL-2 was detected in immersion fixed rat splenocytes stimulated with calcium ionomycin and PMA using Goat Anti-Human/Rat IL-2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-502-NA) at 5 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; NL001) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

IL‑2 in Rat Spleen. IL-2 was detected in immersion fixed frozen sections of rat spleen using Goat Anti-Human/Rat IL-2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-502-NA) at 5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm in lymphocytes.

Cell Proliferation Induced by IL‑2 and Neutralization by Rat IL‑2 Antibody. Recombinant Rat IL-2 (502-RL) stimulates proliferation in the CTLL-2 mouse cytotoxic T cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Rat IL-2 (2 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Human/Rat IL-2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-502-NA). The ND50 is typically 0.15-0.75 µg/mL.

Detection of IL‑2 in Human Tonsil. IL‑2 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of Human Tonsil using Goat Anti-Human/Rat IL‑2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-502-NA) at 3 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Goat IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC004). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm in lymphocytes.

Background: IL-2
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a O-glycosylated four alpha -helix bundle cytokine that has potent stimulatory activity for antigen-activated T cells. It is expressed by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, gamma δ T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, and eosinophils (1-3). Mature rat IL-2 shares 66% and 73% amino acid sequence identity with human and mouse IL-2, respectively. The receptor for IL-2 consists of three subunits that are present on the cell surface in varying preformed complexes (4-6). The 55 kDa IL-2 R alpha is specific for IL-2 and binds with low affinity. The 75 kDa IL-2 R beta, which is also a component of the IL-15 receptor, binds IL-2 with intermediate affinity. The 64 kDa common gamma chain gamma c/IL-2 R gamma, which is shared with the receptors for IL-4, -7, -9, -15, and -21, does not independently interact with IL-2. Upon ligand binding, signal transduction is performed by both IL-2 R beta and gamma c. IL-2 is best known for its autocrine and paracrine activity on T cells. It drives resting T cells to proliferate and induces IL-2 and IL-2 R alpha synthesis (1, 2). It contributes to T cell homeostasis by promoting the Fas-induced death of naïve CD4+ T cells but not activated CD4+ memory lymphocytes (7). IL-2 plays a central role in the expansion and maintenance of regulatory T cells, although it inhibits the development of Th17 polarized cells (8-10). Thus, IL-2 may be a key cytokine in the natural suppression of autoimmunity (11, 12).

The rat polyclonal AF502 was paired with BAF502 to build an ELISA for the measurement of Rat IL-2 in serum samples.
ELISA plates were coated by incubating the diluted capture antibody (AF-502-NA in PBS at 1.6ug/mL) overnight at 4C. To detect the captured IL2 from the supernatants being tested, the detection antibody BAF502 was used at 400ng/mL followed by avidin-HRP.
