An amino acid sequence from the N-terminus of human Indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (MAHAMENSWTISKEYHIDEE) was used as the immunogen for this IDO antibody.
The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts. Titration of the IDO antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.\. Western blot: 0.5-1 μg/mL

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, also called INDO or IDO, is an immunomodulatory enzyme produced by some alternatively activated macrophages and other immunoregulatory cells. This enzyme catalyzes the degradation of the essential amino acid L-tryptophan to N-formyl-kynurenine. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, the assignment is narrowed to chromosome 8p12-p11. IDO-Interferon-gamma interaction has an antiproliferative effect on many tumor cells and inhibits intracellular pathogens such as Toxoplasma and chlamydia, at least partly because of the induction of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase. During inflammation, IDO is upregulated in dendritic cells and phagocytes by proinflammatory stimuli, most notably IFNG, and the enzyme then uses superoxide as a 'cofactor' for oxidative cleavage of the indole ring of tryptophan, yielding an intermediate that deformylates to L-kynurenine.
