Name : Human IL-21 Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Human IL-21 Protein is expressed from E.coli without tag. It contains Gln32-Ser162.[Accession | Q9HBE4-1]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 15.4 kDa same as Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin Level :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE

Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in 20mM NaAc, 150mM NaCl (pH 5.5). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Reconstitution :
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in 20mM NaAc, 150mM NaCl (pH 5.5).

Storage and Stability :
-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt.-80°C for 3-6 months after reconstitution.2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution.Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Human IL-21 on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. ELISA Data Immobilized Human IL-21, No Tag at 2μg/ml (100μl/well) on the plate. Dose response curve for Human IL-21R, hFc Tag with the EC50 of 42.3ng/ml determined by ELISA. Cell Based Assay Measured by its ability to enhance IFN-gamma secretion in NK-92 human natural killer lymphoma cells. The ED50 for this effect is 1-3 ng/mL (QC Test).

Background :
Interleukin-21 (IL-21), produced predominantly by CD4 T cells and natural killer T (NKT) cells, is a newly discovered member of the common γ-chain family of cytokines. It has been implicated in many immunological processes and has been linked to autoimmune diseases, allergies and other inflammatory diseases.

Synonyms :
Interleukin-21; IL-21; Za11; CVID11
