IL-10 Antibody Staining Protocol for Immunohistochemistry

 

Description:  Interleukin 10 (IL1), a cytokine produced primarily by monocytes and to a lesser extent by lymphocytes, has pleiotropic effects in immunoregulation and inflammation. It down-regulates the expression of Th1 cytokines, MHC class II Ags, and costimulatory molecules on macrophages. It also enhances B cell survival, proliferation, and antibody production. This cytokine can block NF-kappa B activity, and is involved in the regulation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway.

Additional Information:
Species Reactivity: Human
Fixation: Formalin fixed paraffin sections
Positive Control: Human liver (Kupffer cells), spleen
Negative Control: Omit primary antibody, isotype control, absorption control
Blocking: 2-5% normal serum to reduce unspecific background staining; 0.5-3% H2O2 to block endogenous peroxidase activity; avidin/biotin to block endogenous biotin activity if necessary
