Interleukin 2, Porcine Active Protein | IL2 active protein

Interleukin 2, Recombinant, Porcine (IL-2)

Gene Names
IL2; IL-2; TCGF; lymphokine
Purity
Highly Purified
95% as determined by RP-HPLC, anion-exchange FPLC and/or reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE Silver Stained gel.
Synonyms
Interleukin 2; Porcine; Recombinant; Porcine (IL-2); IL2 active protein
Ordering
For Research Use Only!
Host
E Coli
Purity/Purification
Highly Purified
95% as determined by RP-HPLC, anion-exchange FPLC and/or reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE Silver Stained gel.
Form/Format
Supplied as a lyophilized powder without additives.
Sequence
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Ala-Pro-Thr-Ser.
Biological Activity
Porcine IL-2 is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of murine CTLL-2 cells is < 0.1 ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of 10 MIU/mg.
Dimers and Aggregates
Less than 1% as determined by silver-stained SDS-PAGE gel analysis.
Endotoxin Level
0.1ng/ug (IEU/ug) of Porcine IL-2.
Protein Content
Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:
1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.714 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics).
2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a calibrated solution of IL-2 as a Reference Standard.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Porcine IL-2 in sterile 20mM AcOH not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Preparation and Storage
-20 degree C
Stability: Lyophilized Recombinant Porcine IL-2 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -180C. Upon reconstitution Porcine IL-2 should be stored at 40C between 2-7 days and for future use below -180C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

NCBI 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.

Uniprot Description

Function: Produced by T-cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation, this protein is required for T-cell proliferation and other activities crucial to regulation of the immune response. Can stimulate B-cells, monocytes, lymphokine-activated killer cells, natural killer cells, and glioma cells.

Subcellular location: Secreted.

Involvement in disease: Note=A chromosomal aberration involving IL2 is found in a form of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Translocation t(4;16)(q26;p13) with involves TNFRSF17.

Pharmaceutical use: Available under the name Proleukin (Chiron). Used in patients with renal cell carcinoma or metastatic melanoma.

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the IL-2 family.

Sequence caution: The sequence AAA59140.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.

Product Notes

The IL2 il2 (Catalog #AAA650987) is an Active Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The amino acid sequence is listed below: The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Ala-Pr o-Thr-Ser. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Interleukin 2, Porcine, Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
