Active GMP Recombinant Human IL18 Protein

• Cat.No.: IL18-155HG
• Product Overview: Recombinant human IL18 (NP_001553.1) was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Source: E. coli
• Species: Human
• Tag: N/A
• Form: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS, 0.02 % Tween-20, pH 7.0.
• Bio-activity: Measured by its ability to induce IFN-gamma secretion by KG‑1 human acute myelogenous leukemia cells. The ED50 for this effect is 1.5 - 15 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant human IL-18 GMP is ≥ 3.0 × 106 IU/mg, which is calibrated against the human IL-18 reference standard (NIBSC code: 03/200).
• Molecular Mass: Approximately 18.2 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 157 amino acids.
• Protein Length: 157aa
• AA Sequence: YFGKLESKLS VIRNLNDQVL FIDQGNRPLF EDMTDSDCRD NAPRTIFIIS MYKDSQPRGM AVTISVKCEK ISTLSCENKI ISFKEMNPPD NIKDTKSDII FFQRSVPGHD NKMQFESSSY EGYFLACEKE RDLFKLILKK EDELGDRSIM FTVQNED
• Endotoxin: Less than 0.01 EU/μg of rHuIL-18 GMP as determined by LAL method.
• Purity: > 95 % by SDS-PAGE and > 98 % by HPLC analyses.
• Storage: Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
  - A minimum of 12 months when stored at ≤ -20 °C as supplied. Refer to lot specific COA for the Use by Date.
  - 3 months, -20 to -70 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
• Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1 - 0.3 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 ℃. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
