• Gene Name:

  IL16

• UniProt:

  O54824

• Reactivity:

  Mouse

• Tissue Specificity:

  Isoform 1 is expressed in neurons of the cerebellum and hippocampus. Isoform 2 is expressed in thymus, spleen and lung.

• Source:

  Escherichia coli

• Sequence:

  [object Object]

• Purification:

  Greater than 90.0% as determined by (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC and (b) Analysis SDS-PAGE.

• Form:

  Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

• Reconstitution:

  It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Murine IL16 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

• Function:

  Interleukin-16 stimulates a migratory response in CD4+ lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils. Primes CD4+ T-cells for IL-2 and IL-15 responsiveness. Also induces T-lymphocyte expression of interleukin 2 receptor. Ligand for CD4.

• Shipping Conditions:

  Available

• Storage Conditions:

  Lyophilized Mouse IL-16 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution mouse IL16 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) .Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
