| Description | Interleukin-7 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 153 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 17412 Dalton. The IL-7 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Expression host | Escherichia Coli. |
| Formulation | Lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in water containing 1x PBS pH-7.4. |
| Protein Background | IL-7 is a cytokine important for B and T cell development. This cytokine and the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) form a heterodimer that functions as a pre-pro-B cell growth-stimulating factor. This cytokine is found to be a cofactor for V(D)J rearrangement of the T cell receptor beta (TCRB) during early T cell development. This cytokine can be produced locally by intestinal epithelial and epithelial goblet cells, and may serve as a regulatory factor for intestinal mucosal lymphocytes. Knockout studies in mice suggested that this cytokine plays an essential role in lymphoid cell survival. |
| Purity | Greater than 95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |

| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interleukin -7 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Stability | Lyophilized Interleukin-7 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IL7 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 | Lymphopoietin 1 (LP-1), pre-B cell factor, IL-7. |
