The Human IL-17A Monoclonal Antibody FITC Conjugated (BL168) is a specialized tool for researchers studying the interleukin-17A (IL-17A) cytokine, an important mediator in inflammatory and immune responses. This antibody, conjugated to FITC for enhanced visualization, is specifically designed for use in flow cytometry and immunofluorescence applications.IL-17A is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by various immune cells, including T helper 17 (Th17) cells, that plays a key role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. By targeting and detecting IL-17A protein, researchers can gain valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying these conditions and develop potential therapeutic strategies.
With high specificity and sensitivity to human IL-17A, this monoclonal antibody is a valuable tool for investigating the role of IL-17A in various biological systems. Its application in flow cytometry and immunofluorescence allows for precise and detailed analysis of IL-17A expression and localization within different cell types, making it an essential component in immunology and inflammatory disease research.

Background:
IL-17A is the founding member of the IL-17 family, a group of six structurally related pro-inflammatory cytokines. IL-17A, secreted by activated CD4+ Th17 cell subpopulation, elicits multiple biological activities on a variety of cells including: the induction of IL-6, IL-8, G-CSF, and PGE2 production in epithelial, endothelial or fibroblasts; the enhancement of surface expression of ICAM-1 in fibroblasts; activation of NF-κB and costimulation of T cell proliferation. Recent studies demonstrated that, in mice, activated IL-17-secreting CD4+ helper T cells (Th17 cells) mediate an autoimmune arthritis that clinically and immunologically resembles rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Human IL-17A shows 63%, 63%, and 72% amino acid sequence identity to rat IL-17A, mouse IL-17A, and a protein encoded by the ORF13 gene of herpesvirus Saimiri (HVS), respectively.
