Active Recombinant Human IL1A Protein (159 aa)

• Cat.No.: IL1A-102I
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human IL1A Protein without tag was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Protein Length: 159
• Description: IL-1 alpha is a non-secreted proinflammatory cytokine produced in a variety of cells including monocytes, tissue macrophages, keratinocytes and other epithelial cells. Both IL-1alpha and IL-1beta binds to the same receptor and has similar if not identical biological properties. These cytokines have a broad range of activities including, stimulation of thymocyte proliferation, by inducing IL-2 release, B-cell maturation and proliferation, mitogenic FGF-like activity and the ability to stimulate the release of prostaglandin and collagenase from synovial cells. However, whereas IL-1beta is a secreted cytokine, IL-1alpha is predominantly a cell-associated cytokine.
• Form: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
• Bio-activity: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of murine D10S cells is less then 0.001 ng/mL, corresponding to a Specific Activity of ＞1 × 10^9 IU/mg.
• Molecular Mass: Approximately 18.0 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 159 amino acids.

• Endotoxin: Less than 1 EU/μg of rHuIL-1α as determined by LAL method.
• Purity: >97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
• Storage: This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 centigrade, but should be kept at -20 centigrade for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8 centigrade. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 to -70 centigrade. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
• Storage Buffer: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.5.
• 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.
