This product is a research-grade, non-therapeutic recombinant analog of the anti-TSLP antibody fragment ecleralimab, supplied for research use only and not for human or veterinary use. It is an unconjugated Fab (human IgG1 heavy-chain fragment paired with a lambda2 light chain) engineered to bind human thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP; UniProt Q969D9), the same target as the originator molecule. Being a monovalent Fab it lacks an Fc region and any effector function, which makes it a clean reagent for studying antigen recognition in isolation from Fc-mediated activity. It is useful as a target-blocking tool for in-vitro neutralization assays, as a positive or reference control in binding and epitope studies, for benchmarking new anti-TSLP binders, and in preclinical development workflows. The material is offered as a low-endotoxin preparation (research grade less than 1 EU/mg; ultra-low grade less than 0.5 EU/mg available) and can be produced at bulk milligram-to-gram scale to support screening, formulation, and assay-development programs.
Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an IL-7-like epithelial-derived cytokine released by barrier tissues such as airway and skin epithelium in response to allergens, viruses, and other insults. It signals through a heterodimeric receptor composed of the TSLP receptor chain (TSLPR/CRLF2) and the IL-7 receptor alpha chain (IL7R), activating JAK1/JAK2 and STAT5 signaling. TSLP acts as an upstream "alarmin" that drives type 2 (Th2) inflammation: it conditions dendritic cells, activates group 2 innate lymphoid cells, and promotes production of IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, along with eosinophil recruitment and IgE responses. Because it sits at the top of the allergic-inflammatory cascade, TSLP is a central therapeutic target in asthma and other type 2 inflammatory diseases, and neutralizing soluble TSLP prevents receptor engagement and downstream signaling.
