predicted N Met
SDS-PAGE
Purity > 98 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction A DNA sequence encoding the C-terminal segment of human IL33 (NP_254274.1) (Ser 112-Thr 270) was expressed with an initial Met at the N-terminus.
Bio-activity 1. Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized human IL-33 at 10 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind human IL1RL1 with a linear range of 0.31-5 ng/ml.
2. Measured in a cell proliferation assay using D10.G4.1 mouse helper T cells costimulated with anti-CD3. The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.15-0.6 ng/mL.
Research Area Cancer |Invasion microenvironment |Angiogenesis |Cytokines / Chemokines in Angiogenesis |Interleukins
Formulation Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4
1. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Specific concentrations are included in the hardcopy of COA.
Background Interleukin 33 (IL-33), also known as DVS27 or NF-HEV (Nuclear Factor from High Endothelial enules), is a proinflammatory protein and a chromatin-associated cytokine of the IL-1 family with high sequence and structural similarity to IL-1 and IL-18. IL-33 protein is expressed highly and rather selectively by high endothelial venule endothelial cells (HEVECs) in human tonsils, Peyers's patches, and lymph nodes. IL-33 protein has transcriptional regulatory properties, and the researches suggested that IL-33 is a dual-function protein that might act both as a cytokine and as an intracellular nuclear factor. As a type 2 cytokines, IL-33 protein also play a pivotal role in helminthic infection and allergic disorders.
