Recombinant murine Interleukin-2 (rm IL-2 )

Recombinant murine Interleukin-2 (rm IL-2 )

• Synonyms: T-cell growth factor, TCGF, Aldesleukin
• CAS Number: 9000-83-3
• Source: Escherichia coli.
• Purity: > 95 % by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
• Bioactivity: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using murine CTLL-2 cells is less than 0.2 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 5.0 × 106 IU/mg.
• Molecular Weight: Approximately 17.2 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 149 amino acids.
• Storage Conditions: This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 °C, but should be kept at -20 °C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8 °C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 °C to -70 °C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
• Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
• Host or Source: Murine
