Anti-Mouse EBI-3, clone V1.4C4.22

Anti-Mouse EBI-3 (MOUSE) Monoclonal Antibody was purified from mouse ascites by Protein A chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above. This antibody is specific for mouse EBI3 protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with EBI3 from mouse sources based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with EBI-3 from other sources has not been determined. Protein function: Cytokine with pro- and anti-inflammatory properties, that can regulate T-helper cell development, suppress T-cell proliferation, stimulate cytotoxic T-cell activity, induce isotype switching in B-cells, and that has diverse effects on innate immune cells. Among its target cells are CD4 T-helper cells which can differentiate in type 1 effector cells (TH1), type 2 effector cells (TH2) and IL17 producing helper T-cells (TH17). It drives rapid clonal expansion of naive but not memory CD4 T-cells. It also strongly synergizes with IL-12 to trigger interferon- gamma/IFN-gamma production of naive CD4 T-cells, binds to the cytokine receptor WSX-1/TCCR. Another important role of IL27 is its antitumor activity as well as its antiangiogenic activity with activation of production of antiangiogenic chemokines. [The UniProt Consortium]
