IL 1 beta Equine

Data sheet

Formulation

The IL 1 beta was lyophilized from a 0.2um filtered concentrated solution in PBS pH 7.4, containing 0.1 % Tween-80.

Solubility

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

Purity

Greater than 95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Description

Recombinant IL 1 beta Equine produced in E.coli cells is a non-glycosylated, homodimeric protein containing 153 amino acid chain and having a molecular mass of 17.3kDa. The IL 1 beta is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Protein Background

Interleukin-1b is produced by activated macrophages, IL-1B stimulates thymocyte proliferation by inducing il-2 release, b-cell maturation and proliferation, and fibroblast growth factor activity. IL1B proteins are involved in the inflammatory response, be

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Synonyms

Catabolin, Lymphocyte-activating factor (LAF), Endogenous Pyrogen (EP), Leukocyte Endogenous Mediator (LEM), Mononuclear Cell Factor (MCF), IL1F2, IL-1 beta.

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Stability

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