IL-2 FluoroSpot kits

We make FluoroSpot kits for IL-2 in 2 species. This page explains how they differ, so you can pick the one your experiment needs.

What differs between these kits

Which species they are for

Available for Human and Mouse. The species decides which antibody pair we supply, so it is the first thing to choose. Some kits are also validated on closely related species, so if you work in one we do not list here, check the reactivity on the product page.

About IL-2

Interleukin 2 (IL-2) is predominantly produced by activated T cells. IL-2 promotes the proliferation, differentiation, and survival of antigen-activated T cells and NK cells. After antigen stimulation, the cytokine also promotes the differentiation of T cells into effector and memory T cells. Therefore IL-2 plays an important role in the body's response to infection. IL-2 is also key to tolerance, as it promotes the differentiation of certain immature T cells into regulatory T cells in the thymus, ultimately preventing autoimmune diseases.
