• Description: IL-21 is produced by CD4+ T cells in response to antigenic stimulation. Its action enhances antigen-specific responses of immune cells. The biological effects of IL-21 include induction of differentiation of T-cells-stimulated B-cells into plasma cells and memory B-cells, stimulation (in conjuction) with IL-4 of IgG production, and induction of apoptotic effects in naive B-cells and stimulated B-cells in the absence of T-cell signaling. Additionally, IL-21 promotes the anti-tumor activity of CD8+ T-cells and NK cells. IL-21 exerts its effect through binding to a specific type I cytokine receptor, IL-21R, which also contains the gamma chain ( centigrade) found in other cytokine receptors including IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9 and IL-15. The IL-21/IL-21R interaction triggers a cascade of events which includes activation of the tyrosine kinases JAK1 and JAK3, followed by activation of the transcription factors STAT1 and STAT3.
• Form: Lyophilized from PBS, pH 7.4.
• Bio-activity: Measured by its ability to proliferate activated B cells.

• Purity: Greater than 97.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
• Storage: Lyophilized Interleukin-21 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 centigrade. Upon reconstitution IL21 should be stored at 4 centigrade between 2-7 days and for future use below -18 centigrade.
  For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
• Reconstitution: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interleukin -21 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
