Active Recombinant Mouse Il2, Fc-tagged

• Cat.No.: Il2-307M
• Product Overview: The extracellular domain of mouse IL-2 (aa 21-169) is fused to the N-terminus of the Fc region of a mutant mouse IgG2a.

Specification

• Species: Mouse
• Source: NS1
• Tag: Fc
• Protein Length: 21-169 a.a.
• Description: Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a 133 amino acid glycoprotein with one intramolecular disulfide bond and variable glycosylation. It is secreted by activated T cells and induces proliferation and maturation of activated T cells, natural killer cells, and lymphokine activated killer cells. IL-2 also stimulates proliferation of antibody-producing B cells, activates neutrophils, and induces mononuclear cells to secrete IFN-gamma; and TNF-alpha; and -beta. Moreover, studies have shown that IL-2 is required for activation-induced apoptosis, an important hemeostatic mechanism in the immune system, which is involved in the maintenance of peripheral tolerance to self-antigens.
• Form: Lyophilized from 0.2μm-filtered solution in PBS.
• Bio-activity: Specific Activity: 1-1.5 x10^6 Units/mg, measured using CTLL indicator cells. Shows the biological function of the IL-2 moiety and exerts a prolonged circulating half-life caused by the modified Fc domain. Blocks diabetogenic autoimmunity in nonobese diab
