IL-21

• 100ug (NPP1756) Please inquiry

Catalog Number	P50137-MNAE
Organism Species	Mouse
Host	E. coli
Synonyms	IL-21
Molecular Weight	The recombinant mouse IL21 consists of 123 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 14.3KDa. It migrates as a 15 kDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
predicted N	Met
SDS-PAGE
Purity	> 97 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction	A DNA sequence encoding the soluble form of mouse IL21 (Q9ES17) (Pro 25-Ser 146) was expressed, with an initial Met at the C-terminus.
Bio-activity	Measured by its ability to induce Interferon gamma secretion by human natural killer lymphoma NK-92 cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 4-20 ng/ml.
Research Area	Immunology |Inflammation / Inflammatory Mediator |Inflammatory Cytokines & Chemoki and Receptors |Common gamma Chain Receptor Family
Formulation	Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.5 1. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose and mannitol are added as protectants before lyophilization. Specific concentrations are included in the hardcopy of COA.
