Scientific Data
Detection of Human Indoleamine 2,3‑dioxygenase/IDO by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of human placenta tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 2 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase/IDO Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB60302) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase/IDO at approximately 45 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase/IDO in Human Tonsil Tissue. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase/IDO was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human tonsil tissue using Mouse Anti-Human Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase/IDO Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB60302) at 5 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC001). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Detection of Indoleamine 2,3‑dioxygenase/IDO in Human Monocytes by Flow Cytometry. Human Monocytes were selected from PBMC using MagCellect Human CD14+ Cell Isolation Kit (Catalog # MAGH105) and cultured overnight with (A) 50 ng/mL Recombinant Human MCSF (Catalog # 216-MC), 50 ng/mL Recombinant Human IFNg (Catalog # 285-IF) and 50 ng/mL LPS, or (B) Recombinant Human MCSF alone. Cells were stained with Mouse Anti-Human Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase/IDO Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB60302) followed by APC-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0101B) and Mouse Anti-Human CD14 PE-conjugated Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # FAB3832P). Quadrant markers were set based on Mouse IgG2B Isotype Control (Catalog # MAB0041). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with 1% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with saponin.

Background: Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase/IDO
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is a heme-containing intracellular dioxygenase catalyzing the degradation of the essential amino acid L-tryptophan to N‑formyl‑kynurenine (1). This degradation is the first and rate-limiting step of the L-kynurenine pathway (2). IDO is widely expressed in dendritic cells, macrophages, microglia, eosinophils, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and most tumor cells. In immune cells, its expression is mainly induced by cytokines such as IFN‑ gamma, IFN‑ alpha, IFN‑ beta, and IL‑10. IDO has an antimicrobial function due to its decreasing the availability of the essential amino acid tryptophan in inflammatory environments (3). Recent studies have demonstrated that IDO induces immunosuppression during infection, pregnancy, transplantation, autoimmunity, and neoplasia (3‑5).
