RIL 7 Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. IL 7 Rat Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 129 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 15.0kDa.The IL 7 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. 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.

Product Specifications

Product Name Alternative

Lymphopoietin 1 (LP-1) ||pre-B cell factor||IL-7.

Purification

Greater than 98.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Components

Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.

Storage Conditions

Lyophilized IL-7 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IL-7 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Applications Notes

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized IL-7 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. The ED50 was determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of murine 2E8 cells is less than 0.2ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of >5,000,000IU/mg.
