Interleukin-17 Human Recombinant ( IL 17 Human )
DescriptionInterleukin-17A Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a homodimeric, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing a total of 264 amino acids (2 chains of 132 aa) and having a molecular mass of 31kDa. The IL-17 is purified by
Data sheet
| Formulation | Sterile filtered lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder, with 20mM Citrate, 0.1M NaCl, pH4.5. |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interleukin 17 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Purity | Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description | Interleukin-17A Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a homodimeric, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing a total of 264 amino acids (2 chains of 132 aa) and having a molecular mass of 31kDa. The IL-17 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background | IL17 is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated T cells. IL-17 regulates the activities of NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases. Interleukin-17 can stimulate the expression of IL6 and cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX-2), as well as enhance the production of nitric oxide (NO). High levels of IL-17 are associated with several chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms | CTLA-8, IL-17, IL-17A, Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 8. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Stability | Lyophilized Interleukin 17A although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IL17 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Biological Activity | The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent induction of IL-6 in Hs68 cell line was found to be approximately 2ng/ml corresponding to a Specific Activity of 500,000IU/mg. |
