Background: Human Interleukin 7 (IL-7) is a potent lymphoid cell growth factor stimulating the proliferation of lymphoid progenitors. IL7 can associate with the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) to form a hybrid cytokine that functions as a pre-pro-B cell growth-stimulating factor. Human IL7 cDNA encodes a 177 amino acid precursor protein containing a 25 amino acid signal peptide and a 152 amino acid mature protein. Human and mouse IL7 share 65% sequence identity in the mature region and both exhibit cross-species activity. IL-7 signals via IL-7 receptor (IL7R) activating multiple pathways including JaK/STAT and PI3K/AKT; which regulate lymphocyte survival; glucose uptake; proliferation; and differentiation. IL-7 is also associated with cytoplasmic IL2-R gamma for signal transduction.

Concentration:

Activity: Measured in a cell proliferation assay using PHA-activated human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBMC). The ED₅₀ for this effect is <0.8 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant human IL-7 is > 1 x 10⁸ IU/mg.

Sequence: Asp26-His177

Purity: > 95 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Formulation: Lyophilized from sterile PBS,pH 8.0.
Normally 5% - 8% trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
Please refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual.

Reconstitution: Please refer to the printed manual for detailed information.

Endotoxin: < 0.1 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.

Calculated MW: 18.3 kDa

ObservedMW: 19 kDa
