uniprot entry name :
TSLP_HUMAN
purity :
TSLP Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
storage stability :
TSLP antibody can be stored at 4 degree C for three months and -20 degree C, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
tested application :
ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunofluorescence (IF)
app notes :
TSLP antibody can be used for detection of TSLP by Western blot at 0.5 - 2 mug/mL. Despite its predicted molecular weight, TSLP often migrates at a higher molecular weight in SDS-PAGE. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 2.5 mug/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 mug/mL.
other info1 :
Conjugate: Unconjugated. Immunogen: TSLP antibody was raised against a 20 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the center of mouse TSLP. Buffer: TSLP Antibody is supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
products description :
TSLP Antibody: Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) has recently been identified as an important factor capable of driving dendritic cell maturation and activation. TSLP is a four-helix-bundle cytokine that is expressed mainly by barrier epithelial cells and is a potent activator of several cell types such as myeloid dendritic cells. TSLP is involved in the positive selection of regulatory T cells, maintenance of peripheral CD4+ T cell homeostasis and the induction of CD4+ T cell-mediated allergic reaction. TSLP is also capable of supporting the growth of fetal liver and adult B cell progenitors and their differentiation to the IgM-positive stage of B cell development. Amino acid sequence analysis has shown poor homology between human and mouse TSLP although they exhibit similar biological functions and are expressed in similar tissues. At least two differentially spliced isoforms of TSLP are known to exist.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a hemopoietic cytokine proposed to signal through a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of the thymic stromal lymphopoietin receptor and the IL-7R alpha chain. It mainly impacts myeloid cells and induces the release of T cell-attracting chemokines from monocytes and enhances the maturation of CD11c(+) dendritic cells. The protein promotes T helper type 2 (TH2) cell responses that are associated with immunity in various inflammatory diseases, including asthma, allergic inflammation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The protein is therefore considered a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of such diseases. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
