Recombinant Mouse Limitin (C-6His)

Limitin, also called IFN-ζ, is a secreted interferon (IFN) -like glycoprotein. Limitin has approximately 30% sequence homology with IFN-α, IFN-β, and IFN-ω and binds to the IFN-α/β receptors. Like IFN-α and IFN-β, limitin has antiproliferative, immunomodulatory, and antiviral properties, it is unique in lacking influence on myeloid and erythroid progenitors. Similar dose requirement between limitin and IFN-α was observed for the enhancement of cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity, the augmentation of MHC class I expression, and the growth inhibition of a myelomonocytic leukemia cell line.

Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting.It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml.Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Lyophilized protein should be stored at ≤ -20°C, stable for one year after receipt. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 2-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at ≤ -20°C for 3 months.

Recombinant Mouse Limitin is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Leu22-Arg182 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.
