Description : |
Interleukin 5 (IL-5) is an interleukin produced by type-2 T helper cells and mast cells. Through binding to the interleukin-5 receptor, interleukin 5 stimulates B cell growth and increases immunoglobulin secretion - primarily IgA. It is also a key mediator in eosinophil activation. |

Endotoxin : |
<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method. |
Bio-activity : |
Measure by its ability to induce TF-1 cells proliferation. The ED50 for this effect is <0.2 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant mouse IL-5 is > 5 x 10^6 IU/mg. |
Purity : |
>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Ni-NTA chromatography |
Storage Buffer : |
The protein was lyophilized from a solution containing 1X PBS, pH 7.4. |
Reconstitution : |
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved. |
Storage : |
Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C. Upon reconstitution, protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C. |
Notes : |
Please use within one month after protein reconstitution. |
