About IL-10
The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine produced primarily by monocytes and to a lesser extent by lymphocytes. This cytokine has pleiotropic effects in immunoregulation and inflammation. It down-regulates the expression of Th1 cytokines, MHC class II Ags, and costimulatory molecules on macrophages. It also enhances B cell survival, proliferation, and antibody production. This cytokine can block NF-kappa B activity, and is involved in the regulation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Knockout studies in mice suggested the function of this cytokine as an essential immunoregulator in the intestinal tract. Mutations in this gene are associated with an increased susceptibility to HIV-1 infection and rheumatoid arthritis. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

About PerCP-Cy5.5
PerCP-Cyanine® 5.5 (PerCP-Cy5.5) is a red-emitting tandem fluorophore that was originally designed to make the PerCP fluorophore more stable and increase signal intensity. The donor molecule, PerCP can be excited by the 488-nm blue laser and and transfers energy to the acceptor molecule, Cy5.5, which emitts light that can be captured with a 695/40 nm bandpass filter. PerCP-Cy5.5 has an excitation peak at 482 nm and an emission peak at 695 nm. There are superior alternatives to PerCP and PerCP-Cy5.5 including BB700, NovaFluor Blue 690 or PerCP-eFluor™ 710
