Goat Anti-Chicken IL-16 Polyclonal Antibody - Biotinylated

Interleukin 16 (IL-16) is a pleiotropic cytokine that has been characterized as a chemoattractant for certain immune cells expressing the cell surface molecule CD4, and has effects on mixed lymphocyte reaction and inhibition of HIV viral replication. Because this cytokine was discovered in 1982 for its T lymphocyte chemotactic activity, it was named €œLymphocyte Chemoattractant Factor (LCF)€ until it was designated interleukin-16. IL-16 forms homotetramers and this structure is required for its bioactivity. The chicken IL-16 polyclonal antibody was produced in goats. The chicken IL-16 polyclonal antibody has been qualified for use in ELISA and Western blot applications.
