Recommended Assay Procedure:
Immunofluorescent Staining for Flow Cytometric Analysis: The PE conjugated JES6-5H4 antibody is useful for immunofluorescent staining and flow cytometric analysis to identify and enumerate IL-2 producing cells within mixed cell populations. For optimal immunofluorescent staining for flow cytometric analysis this antibody should be titrated. For specific methodology, please visit our web site, www.bdbiosciences.com, and go to the protocols section or to the chapter on intracellular staining in the Immune Function Handbook. A useful control for demonstrating specificity of staining is either of the following: 1) pre-block the PE-conjugated JES6-5H4 antibody with ligand (e.g., recombinant mouse IL-2, Cat No. 550069) prior to staining, or 2) pre-block the fixed/permeabilized cells with unlabeled JES6-5H4 antibody (Cat. No. 554425) prior to staining. The staining technique and blocking controls are described in detail by C. Prussin and D. Metcalfe.
A suitable rat IgG2b isotype control for assessing the level of background staining on paraformaldehyde-fixed/saponin-permeabilized mouse cells is PE-A95-1 (Cat. No. 556925); use at comparable concentrations to antibody of interest.

The JES6-5H4 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to mouse interleukin-2 (IL-2), a multifunctional cytokine that plays pivotal roles in immunity and tolerance. It is produced by activated T cells and affects the activation, growth, proliferation and/or differentiation of various cell types including T and B lymphocytes and their precursors, LAK cells, NK cells, and monocytes/macrophages. IL-2 mediates its biological activities by binding to IL-2 receptor complexes. The intermediate affinity IL-2R is comprised of IL-2Rβ (CD122) and common gamma chain (γc; CD132) subunits, whereas the high-affinity IL-2R is comprised of IL-2Rα (CD25), IL-2Rβ, and γc subunits. The JES6-5H4 monoclonal antibody binds to IL-2 and neutralizes its biological activity.
