Recombinant Mouse IL17

Recombinant Mouse IL17

• Description: Interleukin-17 (IL-17 or IL-17A) is the founder member of the IL-17 cytokine family, which shares 50% homology with IL-17F. IL-17 cytokines are produced by T helper (TH)17 cells, gamma delta T cells, and other immune cells. IL-17A and IL-17F form homodimers and heterodimers as functional ligands. IL-17 cytokines bind to two receptors, IL-17RA and IL-17RC. IL-17RC forms a receptor heterodimer with IL-17RA. The receptor heterodimer is preferred by IL-17 ligands, thus, either IL-17RA knockout (KO) or IL-17RC KO completely abolishes IL-17 signaling. IL-17A and IL-17F are key proinflammatory cytokines involved in many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

  Recombinant Mouse Interleukin-17 (IL17)
• Gene ID: 16171
• Accession Number: Q62386
• Organism: Mouse
• Source: E. coli
• Concentration: <1.0 EU/μg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method
• Purity: >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE
• Solubility: A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.
• Function: The ED(50) was determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of immortalized human gingival keratinocytes (Gie-No3B11) and was found to be &lt;0.5ng/mL.
• Molecular Weight: 16
• Shipping Conditions: Ambient Temperature
• Storage Conditions: The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
• Appearance: Lyophilized Powder
• Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS
