Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Mouse Recombinant, IL 1RA Mouse, 50ug

CAT No.BT-CYT-658

Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Mouse Recombinant, IL 1RA Mouse, 50ug

---

Amino acid sequence
The sequence of the first six N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ala-Cys-Arg-Pro-Ser-Gly.

Biological Activity
The mouse IL-1Ra is capable of inhibiting IL-1-alpha activity in helper T cell line D10.G4.1.

Description
IL1 ra Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 153 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 17.4kDa.
The IL1ra is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in water containing NaHCO3.

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

Protein content
Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.91 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 ra as a Reference Standard.

Purity
Greater than 98.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by Gel Filtration.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interleukin-1ra 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 1ra although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18¡ãC. Upon reconstitution IL-1ra 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.
