Scientific Data Images for Human IL-15 Antibody

Cell Proliferation Induced by IL-15 and Neutralization by Human IL-15 Antibody.

Cell Proliferation Induced by IL-15 and Neutralization by Human IL-15 Antibody.

Recombinant Human IL-15 (Catalog # 247-ILB) stimulates proliferation in the MO7e human megakaryocytic leukemic cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line) as measured by Resazurin (Catalog # AR002). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Human IL-15 (10 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Mouse Anti-Human IL-15 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB247). The ND50 is typically 0.007-0.042 µg/mL.
Human IL-15 ELISA Standard Curve

Human IL-15 ELISA Standard Curve

Human BMP-7 was serially diluted and captured by Mouse Anti-Human/Primate IL-15 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB647) coated on a Clear Polystyrene Microplate (Catalog # DY990). Mouse Anti-Human IL-15 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB247) was biotinylated and incubated with the protein captured on the plate. Detection of the standard curve was achieved by incubating Streptavidin-HRP (Catalog # DY998)
Detection of IL-15 by Immunohistochemistry

Detection of IL-15 by Immunohistochemistry

In vivo experiments confirmed that tumor-derived NOX4 inhibit the apoptosis of GC cells by recruiting neutrophils into the tumor microenvironment through GM-CSF. (A) Tumor formation and treatment model of NOD/SCID mice. (B-C) NOD/SCID mice (6 per group) were inoculated subcutaneously with NOX4-overexpression MKN45 GC cell. Once tumor size reached 2mm3, 5×106/200μL of neutrophils from healthy donors and pre-treated with different chemokine neutralizing antibodies (anti-CD14, anti-GM-CSF and anti-DKK1, respectively) were injected into the tail vein. Tumor growth curves (C) and tumor burdens (D) plotted from data measured every 4 days. Data points are shown only up to the time point at which the average tumor volume in any group first reached the predefined ethical limit. Mice were euthanized thereafter. (E) Neutrophils infiltration in tumors determined by CD66b IHC in each group. The red arrow refers to neutrophils. (F) Apoptosis of gastric cancer cells determined by Tunel Apoptosis Detection Kit in each group. Data are presented as the mean ± SD. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P< 0.001.

Background: IL-15

Interleukin 15 (IL-15) is a widely expressed 14 kDa cytokine that is structurally and functionally related to IL-2 (1-3). Mature human IL-15 shares 70% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat IL-15. Alternate splicing generates isoforms of IL-15 with either a long or short signal peptide (LSP or SSP), and the SSP isoform is retained intracellularly (4). IL-15 binds with high affinity to IL-15 R alpha (5). It binds with lower affinity to a complex of IL-2 R beta and the common gamma chain ( gammac) which are also subunits of the IL-2 receptor complex (1, 6). IL-15 associates with IL-15 R alpha in the endoplasmic reticulum, and this complex is expressed on the cell surface (7, 8). The dominant mechanism of IL-15 action is known as transpresentation in which IL-15 and IL-15 R alpha are coordinately expressed on the surface of one cell and interact with complexes of IL-2 R beta/ gammac on adjacent cells (9). This enables cells to respond to IL-15 even if they do not express IL-15 R alpha (8, 10). Soluble IL-15-binding forms of IL-15 R alpha can be generated by proteolytic shedding or alternate splicing (11-13). These molecules retain the ability to bind tightly to IL-15 and can either inhibit or augment IL-15 function (5, 12, 13). Consistent with its shared use of IL-2 receptor subunits, IL-15 induces IL-2-like effects in lymphocyte development and homeostasis (3). It is particularly important for the maintenance and activation of NK cells and CD8+ memory T cells (3). IL-15 also exerts pleiotropic effects on other hematopoietic cells and non-immune cells (2). Ligation of membrane-associated IL-15/IL-15 R alpha complexes induces reverse signaling that promotes cellular adhesion, tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular proteins, and cytokine secretion by the IL-15/IL-15 R alpha expressing cells (14, 15).
