Conjugated Peptide
Anti-IL-16 antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a 20 amino acid synthetic peptide near the N-terminus of human IL-16.
Anti-IL-16 Antibody was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. This antibody will only detect the NIL-16 isoform.
Application Details
ELISA, IF, IHC, WB
Anti-IL-16 Antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, Western Blotting, Immunohistochemistry and Immunofluorescence. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band at approximately 142 kDa in Western Blots of specific cell lysates and tissues.

IL-16 was initially identified as a chemotactic cytokine, but is now known to possess a wide range of activities. Later studies have more fully characterized IL-16 as an immunomodulatory cytokine that contributes to the regulatory process of CD4+ T cell recruitment and activation at sites of inflammation in association with asthma and several autoimmune diseases. The precursor of IL-16 (pro-IL-16) is thought to be cleaved towards the C-terminal region by Caspase-3, releasing a 20 kDa active form that binds to and signals through CD4. Besides acting as a chemotactic cytokine, IL-16 is thought to also be involved in the regulation of T cell proliferation and multiple infectious, immune-mediated, and autoimmune inflammatory disorders including irritable bowel syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and neurodegenerative disorders. At least two isoforms of IL-16 are known to exist; the longer isoform (also known as NIL-16) is detected only in neurons of the cerebellum and hippocampus.
