Product Name:	Anti-Mouse/Human IL-5 In Vivo Antibody - Ultra Low Endotoxin
Product Code:	IVMB0307
Size:	1 mg, 5 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg
Clone:	TRFK5
Protein:	IL-5
Product Type:	Monoclonal Antibody
Synonyms:	BCDFII,Interleukin-5, IL5, B cell differentiation factor 1, TRF, EDF
Isotype:	IgG1
Reactivity:	Mouse
Applications:	CyTOF®, Depletion, ELISA Cap, ELISPOT, FA, FC, IHC FFPE, In Vivo, N, WB
Formulation:	This monoclonal antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added. Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration.

IL-5 is a 26 kD TH2 cytokine and a homodimeric glycoprotein that is part of the hematopoietic family. IL-5 stimulates B cell growth as well as increases Ig secretion. It is the main factor that promotes the terminal differentiation of eosinophil progenitors and enhances the effector capacity of mature eosinophils. IL-5 is a major regulator of eosinophil accumulation in tissues. In fact, in Hodgkin lymphoma, the characteristically observed eosinophilia is suspected to result from an increased production of IL-5. IL-5 may also be the cause of several allergic diseases including asthma, where it is thought that eosinophils have a significant role in the disease pathology. There are several mAbs currently in use that target IL-5 for the treatment of severe eosinophilic asthma.
