IL 1 alpha Rhesus Macaque

Data sheet

Formulation

The IL 1 alpha was lyophilized from a 0.2um filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized IL 1 alpha Recombinant in sterile distilled H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Purity

Greater than 97.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Description

Recombinant IL 1 alpha Rhesus Macaque produced in E.coli cells is a non-glycosylated, homodimeric protein containing 159 amino acid chain and having a molecular mass of 18.1kDa. The IL 1 alpha is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Protein Background

IL-1 alpha is produced by activated macrophages, stimulates thymocyte proliferation by inducing il-2 release, b-cell maturation and proliferation, and fibroblast growth factor activity. IL1A proteins are involved in the inflammatory response, being identi

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Synonyms

Hematopoietin-1, Lymphocyte-activating factor (LAF), Endogenous Pyrogen (EP), Leukocyte Endogenous Mediator (LEM), Mononuclear Cell Factor (MCF), IL-1 alpha,IL1, IL-1A, IL1F1.

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Stability

Lyophilized IL 1 alpha although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IL 1 alpha should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended
