ZooMAb^® antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies. Each ZooMAb^® antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb^® antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Clone RMST-2 is a ZooMAb^® rat recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects ST2/IL-33R.

Mouse ST-2/IL1RL1.

Interleukin-1 receptor-like 1 (UniProt: P14719; also known as EC:3.2.2.6, Interleukin-33 receptor alpha chain 1, Lymphocyte antigen 84, Protein ST2, Protein T1) is encoded by the Il1rl1 (also known as Ly84, St2, Ste2) gene (Gene ID: 17082) in murine species. IL-33, a cytokine that is constitutively produced from by several structural and lining cells, transmits its signal through its receptor IL-33R (ST2), which is expressed on the surface of T helper (Th2) cells and group 2 lymphoid cells. IL-33R is a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein, which is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-26) that is subsequently cleaved off to produce the mature protein that contains an extracellular domain (aa 27-332), a transmembrane domain (aa 333-355), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 356-567). The full-length IL-33R contains three Ig-like C2 type motifs that are responsible for extracellular ligand-binding. It also contains a TIR domain (aa 380-540) that is critical for initiating intracellular signaling. The IL-33/IL-33R axis plays a vital role in both innate and adaptive immunity and is involved in the development of multiple types of immune-related diseases. Two isoforms of IL-33R are described that are produced by alternative splicing. The soluble form (sST2) serves as a decoy receptor and lacks the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonal.

Purified recombinant rat monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.

300 µg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
