IDO Antibody (E-11) is a mouse monoclonal IgM antibody that detects indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). IDO is a crucial enzyme that catalyzes the degradation of the essential amino acid L-tryptophan into N-formylkynurenine, playing a significant role in immune regulation and tolerance. This enzymatic activity helps modulate immunological responses, protecting allogeneic concepti from alloreactive maternal lymphocytes, which is vital during pregnancy. IDO can inhibit T cell proliferation, as demonstrated in studies where IDO-transfected cells co-cultured with T cells resulted in reduced T cell activity. Additionally, IDO interaction with CD123-positive dendritic cells highlights its role in suppressing T cell responses, making IDO a potential target for therapeutic strategies aimed at modulating immune responses. Pharmacological or genetic manipulation of IDO may provide valuable insights into controlling undesirable T cell activity, offering new avenues for treatment in various immunological disorders.
