R&D Systems Recombinant Human IL-1 beta/IL-1F2 IL-1 is a name that designates two pleiotropic cytokines, IL-1α (IL-1F1) and IL-1β (IL-1F2), which are the products of distinct genes. IL-1α and IL-1β are structurally related polypeptides that share approximately 21% amino acid (aa) identity in human. Both proteins are produced by a wide variety of cells in response to inflammatory agents, infections, or microbial endotoxins. S…
R&D Systems Recombinant Human IL-2 Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a O-glycosylated, four α-helix bundle cytokine that has potent stimulatory activity for antigen-activated T cells. It is expressed by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, γδ T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, and eosinophils. Specifications and Use of R&D IL-2 Source • A DNA sequence encoding the mature human IL-2 protein sequence (Taniguchi et al., 1983, Nature 302: 305 - 310; Ma…
R&D Systems Recombinant Human FGF basic (157 aa)FGF basic is a member of the FGF family of at least 23 related mitogenic proteins which show 35 - 60% amino acid conservation. FGF acidic and basic, unlike the other members of the family, lack signal peptides and are apparently secreted by mechanisms other than the classical protein secretion pathway. This factor contains four cysteine residues, but reduced FGF basic retains fu…
TGF- β1 (transforming growth factor beta 1) is one of three closely related mammalian members of the large TGF-β superfamily that share a characteristic cystine knot structure.1 - 7 TGF-β1, -2 and -3 are highly pleiotropic cytokines that are proposed to act as cellular switches that regulate processes such as immune function, proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Specifications and Use for R&D TGF-beta1Source •…
R&D Systems Recombinant Human HGFHGF, also known as scatter factor and hepatopoietin A, is a pleiotropic protein in the plasminogen subfamily of S1 peptidases. It is a multidomain molecule that includes an N-terminal PAN/APPLE-like domain, four Kringle domains, and a serine proteinase-like domain that has no detectable protease activity. Specifications and Use of R&D HGF Source of R&D HGF• A DNA sequence encoding the 728 am…

R&D Cell-Based ELISA - Dual fluorescence detection of two biomolecules simultaneously in the context of a whole cell R&D Systems Cell-Based ELISAs permit the simultaneous detection of two proteins in the same microplate well without the need for lysate preparation. Cell-Based R and D ELISA Kits come in two formats: phospho-protein kits contain antibodies to measure both the phosphorylated and the total protein, while total p…
R & D Systems Active STAT3 DuoSet IC® Kit - For the development of transcription factor assays to measure human and mouse active STAT1 p91. The R & D DuoSet IC Phospho-specific ELISA format is a sensitive and convenient phosphorylation assay for use with cell lysates. The DuoSet IC signal transduction assays are an excellent alternative to Western blot, especially when used in combination with DuoSet IC ELISAs designed to mea…
R&D Oncostatin MOncostatin M (OSM) is a member of the IL-6 subfamily of cytokines that includes IL-6, IL-11, LIF, CNTF, CLC, and Cardiotrophin-1. These cytokines have overlapping biological functions and shared receptor components. Mouse OSM protein shows 48% amino acid identity with human OSM.
