Interleukin-16 Mouse Recombinant ( IL 16 Mouse )
DescriptionInterleukin-16 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 127 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 13.2 kDa. The Mouse IL-16 is purified by proprietary chromatographic
Data sheet
| Formulation | Murine IL-16 was lyophilized from 1mg/ml solution after extensive dialysis against 10mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH-7.5. |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Murine IL16 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Purity | Greater than 90.0% as determined by(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis SDS-PAGE. |
| Inactivation | Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 1.493 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics).2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a calibrated solution of IFN-beta as a Reference Standard. |

| Protein Background | IL-16 is a pleiotropic cytokine that functions as a chemoattractant, a modulator of T cell activation, and an inhibitor of HIV replication. The signaling process of IL-16 is mediated by CD4. The product of this gene undergoes proteolytic processing, which is found to yield two functional proteins. IL-16 functions exclusively attributed to the secreted C-terminal peptide, while the N-terminal product may play a role in cell cycle control. Caspase 3 is reported to be involved in the proteolytic processing of this protein. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.IL-16 stimulates a migratory response in cd4+ lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils. Also induces t-lymphocyte expression of interleukin 2 receptor. ligand for cd4. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms | LCF, Lymphocyte Chemoattractant Factor, prIL-16, KIAA4048, mKIAA4048, Il16, IL-16, Interleukin-16. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Stability | Lyophilized Mouse IL-16 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution mouse IL16 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. |
