Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) is a potent proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated Th17 (T-helper 17) cells and certain cells belonging to the innate immune system. Th17 cells play an important role in autoimmune diseases and protection against bacteria and fungi. IL-17A acts on a broad range of cell types to induce expression of cytokines, chemokines and metalloproteinases. As a result, secretion of IL-17A promotes inflammatory responses, which leads to the recruitment of neutrophils, enhancement of antibody production and activation of T cells. Increased expression of IL-17A is seen in autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. It is also associated with asthma, psoriasis, cancer and transplant rejection. Neutralizing antibodies have only been tested with human cells.
Mouse monoclonal antibody to human Interleukin-17A, clone MT44.6. Suitable as capture antibody in ELISA and ELISpot (in combination with clone MT504 biotinylated, code 3520-6).
