Background: Interleukin-2(IL-2) is an interleukin; a type of cytokine signaling molecule in the immune system;belongs to the IL-2 family. It is a powerful immunoregulatory lymphokine produced by T-cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation. IL-2/IL-2R signaling is required for T-cell proliferation and other fundamental functions that are essential for the immune response. IL-2 stimulates growth and differentiation of B-cells; NK cells; lymphokine-activated killer cells; monocytes; macrophages and oligodendrocytes.

Concentration:

Activity: Measure by its ability to induce proliferation in CTLL-2 cells. The ED₅₀ for this effect is <3 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant human IL-2 is >5 x 10⁶ IU/mg.

Sequence: Ala21-Thr153

Purity: > 98 % 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: < 0.01 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.

Calculated MW: 16.4 kDa

ObservedMW: 13 kDa
