Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: Non
• Protein Length: Tyr37-Asp193
• Description: Interleukin-18 (IL-18) belongs to the IL-1 superfamily and is constitutively produced by macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs) and other cells. IL-18 binds to the receptor of IL-18 (IL-18R) and initiate the recruitment and heterodimerization of the IL-18RAcP, leading to downstream activation of NF-κB. After stimulation with IL-18, multiple cytokines including IFN-γ, IL-13, IL-4, IL-8, and GM-CSF and both Th1 and Th2 lymphokines could be produced by different cells. As an immunoregulaory cytokine, IL-18 can promote development of T helper 1 (Th1) cells, which maximizes the production of IFN by synergistically stimulating to mature Th1 effectors in combination with IL-12. On the contrary, it inhibits the production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. In addition, IL-18 exhibits multiple proinflammatory functions, such as increases in cell adhesion molecules, nitric oxide synthesis, and chemokine production.
• Form: Lyophilized
• Bio-activity: Measure by its ability to induce IFN gamma secretion in KG-1 cells. The ED50 for this effect is < 6 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant human IL-18 is > 1 × 10⁷ IU/mg, which is calibrated against the human IL-18 WHO Reference Reagent (NIBSC code: 03/200)
• Molecular Mass: The protein has a calculated MW of 18.2 kDa.
  The protein migrates as 15 kDa under reducing condition (SDS-PAGE analysis).
• Endotoxin: < 0.1 EU/μg of the protein by the LAL method.
• Purity: >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
• Storage: This product is stable after storage at:
  -20 centigrade for 12 months in lyophilized state from date of receipt.
  -20 or -80 centigrade for 1 month under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
  Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
• Storage Buffer: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 200 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.
• Shipping: The product is shipped with polar packs. Upon receipt, store it immediately at -20 centigrade or lower for long term storage.
