Active Recombinant Mouse Il1a Protein

• Cat.No.: Il1a-099M
• Product Overview: Purified recombinant protein of Mouse interleukin 1 alpha (Il1a) (Ser115-Ser270) without tag was expressed in E.coli.

Specification

• Description: Produced by activated macrophages, IL-1 stimulates thymocyte proliferation by inducing IL-2 release, B-cell maturation and proliferation, and fibroblast growth factor activity. IL-1 proteins are involved in the inflammatory response, being identified as endogenous pyrogens, and are reported to stimulate the release of prostaglandin and collagenase from synovial cells.
• Source: E. coli
• Species: Mouse
• Bio-activity: The ED50 is 1- 5 pg/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 1- 0.2 x 10^9 units/mg, determined by the dose dependent stimulation of D10S cells proliferation
• Molecular Mass: 18 kDa
• Endotoxin: Less than 0.01 ng per µg protein as determined by the LAL method
• Purity: >98%, as determined by Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE.
