Interleukin-17 Human Recombinant, IL 17 Human, 25ug

CAT No.BT-CYT-250

Interleukin-17 Human Recombinant, IL 17 Human, 25ug

---

Biological Activity
The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent induction of IL-6 in Hs68 cell line was found to be approximately 2ng/ml corresponding to a Specific Activity of 500,000IU/mg.

Description
Interleukin-17A Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a homodimeric, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing a total of 264 amino acids (2 chains of 132 aa) and having a molecular mass of 30,250 Dalton.
The IL-17 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Formulation
Sterile filtered lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder, with 20mM Citrate, 0.1M NaCl, pH4.5.

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 1.13 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-17 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 17 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 17A although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18¡ãC. Upon reconstitution IL17 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
CTLA-8, IL-17, IL-17A, Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 8.
