• Cat.No.: Il17a-89R
• Product Overview: Recombinant Rat Interleukin-17A produced in E.Coli is a homodimeric, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain having a molecular mass of 30 kDa. The Rat IL-17A is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Specification

• Cat. No.: Il17a-89R
• Description: IL17 is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated T cells. IL-17 regulates the activities of NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases. Interleukin-17 can stimulate the expression of IL6 and cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX-2), as well as enhance the production of nitric oxide (NO). High levels of IL-17 are associated with several chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis.

• Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
• Purity: Greater than 95.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
• Formulation: Lyophilized from a concentrated (1 mg/ml) solution containing 10mM NaCitrate, pH-3.0.
• Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interleukin Rat 17A in sterile 18 MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
• Specific Activity: Rat IL-17A is fully biologically active when compared to standards via dose-dependent induction of IL-6 production in cultured rat fibroblasts.
• Stability: Lyophilized Interleukin Rat 17A although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Rat IL17 should be stored at 4°Cbetween 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
