Description

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a powerful immunoregulatory lymphokine produced by T-cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation. It is expressed by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, γδ T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, and eosinophils. IL-2/IL-2R signaling is required for T- cell proliferation and other fundamental functions which are essential for the immune response. The receptor for IL-2 consists of three subunits (55 kDa IL-2Rα, 75 kDa IL-2Rβ, and 64 kDa common gamma chain γc/IL-2Rγ) that are present on the cell surface in varying preformed complexes. Mature human IL-2 shares 56% and 66% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat IL-2, respectively. Human and mouse IL-2 exhibit cross-species activity.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in 10 mM sodium citrate, pH 4.0.

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 ≤ -20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.

 

Shipping and Storage

The products are shipped with ice pack and can be stored at -20 ℃ for 1 year.

1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.

3 months, -20 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.

Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities when first used and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

 

Cautions
