purity :
Greater than 97.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
form :
The protein (1mg/ml) was lyophilized after extensive dialysis against 20mM PBS pH=7.4. Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
storage stability :
Lyophilized Interleukin-2 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 degree C. Upon reconstitution IL2 should be stored at 4 degree C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18 degree C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
other info2 :
Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interleukin 2 in sterile distilled water or 20mM AcOH not less than 100 ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Biological Activity: The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of murine CTLL-2 cells is < 0.1 ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of 10,000,000 IU/mg.

products description :
Description: Interleukin-2 Human Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 134 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 15kDa. The IL-2 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Introduction: IL2 is a secreted cytokine that is important for the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes. The receptor of this cytokine is a heterotrimeric protein complex whose gamma chain is also shared by interleukin 4 (IL4) and interleukin 7 (IL7). The expression of this gene in mature thymocytes is monoallelic, which represents an unusual regulatory mode for controlling the precise expression of a single gene. The targeted disruption of a similar gene in mice leads to ulcerative colitis-like disease, which suggests an essential role of this gene in the immune response to antigenic stimuli.

uniprot summary :
IL2: Produced by T-cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation, this protein is required for T-cell proliferation and other activities crucial to regulation of the immune response. Can stimulate B-cells, monocytes, lymphokine- activated killer cells, natural killer cells, and glioma cells. A chromosomal aberration involving IL2 is found in a form of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Translocation t(4;16)(q26;p13) with involves TNFRSF17. Belongs to the IL-2 family. Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide; Oncoprotein; Cytokine. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 4q26-q27. Cellular Component: extracellular space; extracellular region. Molecular Function: growth factor activity; interleukin-2 receptor binding; cytokine activity; kinase activator activity; carbohydrate binding; glycosphingolipid binding; kappa-type opioid receptor binding.
