Recombinant Active Human IL18 Protein, His-tagged(C-ter)

• Cat.No.: IL18-154H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Active Human IL18 Protein with His tag (C-ter) was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Tag: His
• Description: The protein encoded by this gene is a proinflammatory cytokine that augments natural killer cell activity in spleen cells, and stimulates interferon gamma production in T-helper type I cells. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
• Form: Powder
• Bio-activity: Determined by its ability to induce IFN gamma secretion in KG-1 cells. The ED50 for this effect is < 5 ng/mL.
• AA Sequence: MYFGKLESKLSVIRNLNDQVLFIDQGNRPLFEDMTDSDCRDNAPRTIFIISMYKDSQPRGMAVTISVKCEKISTLSCENKIISFKEMNPPDNIKDTKSDIIFFQRSVPGHDNKMQFESSSYEGYFLACEKERDLFKLILKKEDELGDRSIMFTVQNED
• Endotoxin: Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 EU/μg of the protein, as determined by the LAL test.
• Purity: > 98% (by SDS-PAGE)
• Applications: SDS-PAGE
• Notes: For laboratory research only, not for drug, diagnostic or other use.
• Storage: Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C. After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -20°C or -80°C for up to one month. Storage in frost free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Suggest spin the vial prior to opening.
• Storage Buffer: PBS (pH 8.0)
• Reconstitution: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile water to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min at room temperature to make sure the protein is dissolved completely.
