Description

IL-33Rα, also known as ST2 or IL-1RL1, is a member of the Toll/IL-1 receptor family.  It binds IL-33 and is structurally similar to IL-1R1.  Two forms of the protein exist - a soluble form known as ST2 and a membrane anchored form known as ST2L.  The membrane form is expressed by Th2 cells and bone marrow derived mast cells, whereas the soluble form is expressed by serum-stimulated fibroblasts.

Blocking with anti-ST2 antibodies has been shown to alleviate experimental arthritis and airway inflammation.  The IL-33-ST2 axis has been reported to be important across a range of diseases including asthma, allergies, and cardiac disease.

Formulation

Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide.

Recommended Usage

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤0.5 microg per million cells in 100 microL volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
