Interleukin-1 alpha Porcine Recombinant, IL 1 alpha Porcine, 10ug

Amino acid sequence
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ser-Ala-Thr-Tyr-Ser.

Biological Activity
The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of D10S cells is < 0.03 ng/ml corresponding to a specific activity of 33.4MIU/mg.

Description
Interleukin-1A Porice Recombinant produced in E.Coli is single, a non-glycosylated, Polypeptide chain containing 158 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18076 Dalton.
The IL-1A is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Formulation
The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) sterile solution containing no additives.

Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Protein content
Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods
1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.669 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics).

2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a standard solution of IL-1 as a Reference Standard.

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

Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interleukin-1 alpha in sterile 18M¦¸-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Source
Escherichia Coli.

Stability
Lyophilized Interleukin-1 alpha although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18¡ãC. Upon reconstitution IL1A should be stored at 4¡ãC between 2-7 days and for future use below -18¡ãC. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Synonyms
