| Reconstitution |
1mg/ml in PBS (after reconstitution). |
| Formulation |
Interleukin-17B was Lyophilized from a 0.2um filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH7.4, 0.05% Tween-20 and 3%Trehalose. |
| Solubility |
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interleukin 17B 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: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
Interleukin-17B Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a homodimeric, non-disulfide-linked polypeptide chain containing a total of 322 amino acids (2 chains of 161aa) and having a molecular mass of 36.5kDa. The IL-17B is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
IL-17 family members are glycoproteins secreted as dimers which induce local cytokine production and recruit granulocytes to sites of inflammation. The IL-17 family is comprised of at least six pro-inflammatory cytokines that share a conserved cysteine-knot structure but diverge at the N-terminus. IL-17 is induced by IL-15 and IL-23, mostly in activated CD4+ T cells distinct from Th1 or Th2 cells. IL-17B binds the IL-17B receptor, but not the IL-17 receptor; it is most homologous with IL-17D, which is expressed by resting CD4+ T cells and CD19+ B cells. IL17B Diseases associated with IL17B include spondyloarthropathy, and neuronitis, and among its related super-pathways are Mucin expression in CF via IL-6, IL-17 signaling pathways and STAT3 Pathway. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
Interleukin-17B, IL-17B, Cytokine Zcyto7, Interleukin-20, Neuronal interleukin-17-related factor, IL20, NIRF, ZCYTO7. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Stability |
Lyophilized Interleukin 17B although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18C. Upon reconstitution IL17B should be stored at 4C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18C. 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 inducing IL-8 secretion of human HepG2 cells is less than 1.0ug/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1000 IU/mg. |
| Antibody Properties |
Reconstitute with sterile H20. Mix gently, wash the sides of the vial and wait 30-60 seconds before use. |
| Titer |
Antibody is shipped lyophilized at ambient temperature. |
| Amino Acid Sequences |
A certain degree of functional cross reactivity with murine IL-2 was reported by some investigators. |
| Western Blot |
1:10,000 dilution will yield 0.4 O.D using alkaline phosphatase conjugated rabbit anti-mouse Ig (Jackson Laboratories). 1:50 dilution will block 70-80% of CTLL proliferative response to 50 units of r.human IL-2. |
