Description
Data Sheet
| Biological Activity | The specific activity was determined by the dose-dependent induction of IL-6 secretion from NDHF Adult fibroblasts and is typically 5-25ng/ml. |
| Description | IL-17 Human Recombinant produced in HEK cells is a glycosylated homodimer, having a molecular weight range of 30-35kDa due to glycosylation.The IL-17 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Expression host | HEK. |
| Formulation | The IL17 was lyophilized from 1mg/ml in 1xPBS. |
| Physical Appearence | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Protein Background | 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. |
| Purity | Greater than 95% as obsereved by SDS-PAGE. |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized IL-17 in sterile water not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Stability | Lyophilized IL-17 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IL17 should be stored at 4°C between 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. |
| Synonyms | CTLA-8, IL-17, IL-17A, Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 8. |
