IL-17F Mouse anti-Human, PerCP-Cy5.5, Clone: O33-782, BD

Beschreibung

The O33-782 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to Interleukin-17F (IL-17F). IL-17F is a member of the IL-17 family of cytokines. IL-17F is encoded by the IL17F gene located in chromosome 6 (location: 6p12). IL-17F is a proinflammatory cytokine that is produced by activated T cells including differentiated CD4+ T helper 17 (Th17) cells. Activated Th17 cells can express disulfide-linked IL-17F and IL-17A homodimers as well as IL-17A/IL-17F heterodimers. These IL-17 dimers act by binding to and signaling through IL-17 receptor complexes (IL-17R). IL-17R are comprised of transmembrane IL-17RA and IL-17-RC protein subunits that are expressed by a variety of target cells including epithelial and endothelial cells, keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and granulocytes. IL-17F can induce target cells to produce proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, IL-6, G-CSF, GM-CSF, and TNF and chemokines including CXCL1/Gro-α, CXCL2/Gro-β, and CXCL8/IL-8 that attract and activate leukocytes, eg, neutrophils. Th17 and other IL-17F-producing cells play protective roles in the clearance of extracellular pathogens, including bacteria and fungi. IL-17F can also play adverse roles in inflammation associated with asthma and autoimmune diseases.
