Uses
TSLP human has been used in immunohistochemistry.
Biological Activity
Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) signals throughout a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of the thymic stromal lymphopoietin receptor and the interleukin-7 (IL-7) receptor a chain. TSLP impacts myeloid cells and thus induces the discharge of T cell-attracting chemokines from monocytes and increases the growth of CD11c+ dendritic cells. Similar to IL-7, TSLP enhances phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 and 5 (STAT3 and STAT5), though uses kinases excluding Janus kinases (JAKs) for its activation. TSLP induces the release of T cell-attracting chemokines such as thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) and macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) from monocytes and triggers CD11c+ dendritic cells. TSLP activated dendritic cells primes naive T cells to manufacture pro-allergic cytokines such as interleukin-4, interleukin-5, interleukin-13 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), whereas down-regulating interleukin-10 and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) play a role in the initiation of allergic inflammation.
Description
TSLP Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 132 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 15 kDa.
The TSLP is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Background
TSLP protein is a hemopoietic cytokine which signals throughout a heterodimeric receptor complex composed of the thymic stromal lymphopoietin receptor & the Interleukin-7 receptor alpha chain. TSLP impacts myeloid cells thus induces the discharge of T cell-attracting chemokines from monocytes & increases the growth of CD11c(+) dendritic cells. TSLP is mainly expressed in the heart, liver and prostate. TSLP is related in its biological activities with IL-7 and binds with the heterodimeric receptor complex consisting of the Interleukin-7 receptor alpha chain & the TSLPR. Similar to IL-7, TSLP enhances phosphorylation of STAT3 and STAT5, though uses kinases excluding JAKs for its activation. TSLP induces the release of T cell-attracting chemokines such asTARC & MDC from monocytes & triggers CD11c(+) dendritic cells. TSLP activated dendritic cells primes naive T cells to manufacture pro-allergic cytokines such as Iinterleukin-4, Interleukin-5, Interleukin-13 and TNF-alpha whereas down-regulating Interleukin-10 and IFN-gamma play a role in the initiation of allergic inflammation.
