Name : Human IL-2 Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Human IL-2 Protein is expressed from E.coli without tag. It contains Ala21-Thr153.[Accession | P60568]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted 15.5 kDa same as Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin Level :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE> 95% as determined by HPLC

Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in 100mM Acetic Acid. Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Reconstitution :
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in 100mM Acetic Acid.

Storage and Stability :
-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt. -80°C for 3-6 months after reconstitution. 2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Human IL-2 on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Human IL-2 is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC. SPR Data Human IL-2 R alpha, His Tag captured on CM5 Chip via anti-his antibody can bind Human IL-2, No Tag with an affinity constant of 16.82 nM as determined in SPR assay (Biacore T200). SPR Data Human IL-2 R beta, His Tag captured on CM5 Chip via Anti-His Antibody can bind Human IL-2, No Tag with an affinity constant of 0.25μM as determined in SPR assay (Biacore T200). SPR Data Human IL-2 R beta&IL-2 R gamma, hFc Tag captured on CM5 Chip via Protein A can bind Human IL-2, No Tag with an affinity constant of 0.114 nM as determined in SPR assay (Biacore T200). Cell Based Assay Measured in a cell proliferation assay using CTLL‑2 mouse cytotoxic T cells. The ED50 for this effect is 0.5-2 ng/mL (QC Test).

Background :
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is an interleukin, a type of cytokine signaling molecule in the immune system. It is a 15,5 – 16 kDa protein that regulates the activities of white blood cells (leukocytes, often lymphocytes) that are responsible for immunity. IL-2 has essential roles in key functions of the immune system, tolerance and immunity, primarily via its direct effects on T cells.

Synonyms :
IL2; T-cell growth factor; TCGF; Aldesleukin
