| Formulation |
The IL 1RA was lyophilized from a 0.2um filtered concentrated solution in 1PBS, pH 7.4, containing 1mM DTT. |
| Solubility |
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized IL 1RA 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 1RA Porcine produced in E.coli cells is a non-glycosylated, homodimeric protein containing 152 amino acid chain and having a molecular mass of 17.1kDa. The IL 1RA is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
Interleukin-1 ra is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. This protein inhibits the activities of interleukin 1, alpha (IL1A) and interleukin 1, beta (IL1B), and modulates a variety of interleukin 1 related immune and inflammatory responses. This gene and five other closely related cytokine genes form a gene cluster spanning approximately 400 kb on chromosome 2. A polymorphism of this gene is reported to be associated with increased risk of osteoporotic fractures and gastric cancer. Four alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
IRAP, IL1F3, IL1RA, IL-1ra3, ICIL-1RA, IL1RN, IL1 inhibitor, IL-1ra, MGC10430. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Stability |
Lyophilized IL 1RA although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IL 1RA 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 |
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by inhibiting IL-1a-dependent proliferation of murine D10S cells is less than 50 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 2.0 104 IU/mg in the presence of 75 pg/ml rPoIL-1a. |
