AHP1286 is specific for human TSLP (thymic stromal lymphopoietin), a 132 amino acid secreted haemopoietic cytokine which shares biological properties with interleukin-7 (IL-7), including involvement in B-cell development, and the activation and phosphorylation of STAT3 and STAT5.
TSLP is expressed in the heart, liver and prostate and functions through binding to a receptor complex consisting of the TSLPR (thymic stromal lymphopoietin receptor) and the IL-7R alpha chain. Properties attributed to TSLP include the induction of monocytes to release T cell-attracting chemokines, enhancing the maturation of CD11c(+) dendritic cells and their ability to stimulate T cells, and strong evidence suggests that TSLP plays a pivotal role in allergic immune responses.

This product requires antigen retrieval using heat treatment prior to staining of paraffin sections. Sodium citrate buffer pH 6.0 is recommended for this purpose.
Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Western Blotting
AHP1286 may be used in Western blotting withPHP182as the positive control.
Storage
Prior to reconstitution store at +4oC.
After reconstitution store at -20oC.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
12 months from date of reconstitution.
Antiserum Preparation
Antisera to human TSLP were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared by affinity chromatography.
