Anti-IL-10 (Cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor)

Interleukin-10 (IL-10 or IL10), also known as human cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor (CSIF), is an anti-inflammatory cytokine. In humans IL-10 is encoded by the IL10 gene. It is capable of inhibiting synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines like IFN-gamma, IL-2, IL-3, TNFalpha and GM-CSF made by cells such as macrophages and regulatory T-cells.IL-10 also displays potent abilities to suppress the antigen presentation capacity of antigen presenting cells. Kim et al. (1992) showed that the mouse Il 10 gene contains 5 exons and spans about 5.2 kb of genomic DNA. Eskdale et al. (1997) mapped the IL10 gene to the junction between 1q31 and 1q32. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: 0.1-0.5ug/ml, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin): 0.5-1ug/ml. Boiling the paraffin sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 20 minutes is required for the staining of formalin/paraffin sections., ELISA: 0.1-0.5ug/ml, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
