Active Recombinant Human IL2 Protein, His-tagged(C-ter)

• Cat.No.: IL2-169H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Active Human IL2 Protein with His tag (C-ter) was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Description: The protein encoded by this gene is a secreted cytokine that is important for the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes. The receptor of this cytokine is a heterotrimeric protein complex whose gamma chain is also shared by interleukin 4 (IL4) and interleukin 7 (IL7). The expression of this gene in mature thymocytes is monoallelic, which represents an unusual regulatory mode for controlling the precise expression of a single gene. The targeted disruption of a similar gene in mice leads to ulcerative colitis-like disease, which suggests an essential role of this gene in the immune response to antigenic stimuli.

• Endotoxin: Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 EU/μg of the protein, as determined by the LAL test.
• Purity: > 98% (by SDS-PAGE)
• Applications: SDS-PAGE
• Notes: For laboratory research only, not for drug, diagnostic or other use.
• Storage: Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C. After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -20°C or -80°C for up to one month. Storage in frost free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Suggest spin the vial prior to opening.
• Storage Buffer: PBS (pH 8.0)
• Reconstitution: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile water to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min at room temperature to make sure the protein is dissolved completely.
