Recombinant Equine IL-2 Cys141Ser

Description :
FAQ COA 已发表文献 Interleukin 2 was initially identified as a T cell growth factor that is produced by T cells following activation by mitogens or antigens. IL-2 has since been found to also stimulate the growth and differentiation of B cells, natural killer (NK) cells, lymphocyte activated killer (LAK) cells, monocytes/macrophages and oligodendrocytes.The biological activity of IL-2 is mediated by the binding of IL-2 to cell surface receptor complexes. The functional high-affinity receptor that mediate IL2 signals is composed of three polypeptide chains, the IL-2 receptor alpha, beta and gamma subunits. IL-2 also signals via the intermediate affinity receptor complex of the beta and gamma subunits. In T cells, the beta and gamma subunits are shared with the IL-15 receptor complex. The gamma subunit of the IL-2 receptor complex has also been shown to be a subunit of the receptor complexes of IL-4, IL-7, IL-9 and IL-21.

Endotoxin 0.1EU per 1g of the protein by the LAL method. Formulation Lyophilized from a 0.2 m filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 6.5. Reconstitution We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at -20C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
