IL-22, Human Recombinant Animal Free

General description

IL-22 is a member of the IL-10 family of regulatory cytokines which includes IL-10, IL-19, IL-20, IL-22, IL-24 and IL-26. Members of this family share partial homology in their amino acid sequences, but they are dissimilar in their biological functions. Produced by T lymphocytes, IL-22 inhibits IL-4 production by Th2 cells, and induces acute phase reactants in the liver and pancreas. IL-22 signals through a receptor system consisting of IL-10Rβ/CRF2-4 and IL-22R, both of which are members of the class II cytokine-receptor family.
Recombinant human IL-22 is a 33.6 kDa non-disulfide-linked
homodimeric protein containing of two 147 amino acid polypeptide chains.

Product Source: Protein is expressed in E.coli.
The protein is manufactured without the use of any animal products/reagents and is considered Animal-Free and can be used in protocols where possible transmisson of animal viruses and contamination must be avoided.

Quality

Determined by its ability to induce IL-10 secretion in COLO 205 (human colon carcinoma cells). The expected ED50 for this effect is 0.7- 1.0ng/ml.

Physical form

Product is presented in 10 mM NaCitrate, pH 4.0 and is filtered through a 0.2 micron filter before lyophilization.

Storage and Stability

Store at -20°C for up to 4 months from date of receipt Centrifuge the vial prior to opening.
Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.5-1.0mg/ml. Do not vortex. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein and store in working aliquots at -20°C.
