Recombinant Human IL5 protein

• Cat.No.: IL5-144H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human IL5 was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: Non
• Description: Interleukin 5 (IL5) is a specific hematopoietic growth factor that is responsible for the growth and differentiation of eosinophils. IL5 promotes the growth of immature hematopoietic progenitor cells BFU-E while it causes differentiation of CFU-E the proliferation of which is inhibited by IL5. B cells can be made responsive to IL5 by treatment with suboptimal doses of IL1. Interleukin 5 also promotes the generation of cytotoxic T cells from thymocytes. In thymocytes IL5 induces the expression of high affinity IL2 receptors. Human and mouse IL5 is cross-species reactive. Recombinant Human IL5 is a 26.5 kDa disulfide-linked homodimerized protein.
• Form: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in Tris with NaCl
• Molecular Mass: 13.0 kDa
• Endotoxin: <1.0 EU/μg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method.
• Purity: >95%
• Applications: Cell Assay
• Storage: The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70 centigrade. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2 centigrade - 8 centigrade for one month, or at -20 centigrade for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
• Reconstitution: A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.
