Recombinant Human Interleukin 4, HQ-tagged

• Cat.No.: IL4-5334H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human IL4contains 130 amino acids and a 16 amino acid Histidine/Glutamine-based tagfor a total length of 146 amino acids.

Specification

• Cat. No.: IL4-5334H
• Description: IL-4, is a cytokine that induces differentiationof naive helper T cells (Th0 cells) to Th2 cells. Upon activation by IL-4,Th2 cells subsequently produce additional IL-4. The cell that initiallyproduces IL-4, thus inducing Th0 differentiation, has not been identified,but recent studies suggest that basophils may be the effector cell.
• Source: Hordeum vulgare(barley grain)
• Species: Human
• Form: Lyophilized from a0.2 um sterile filtered solution in 30 mM Sodium Acetate +0.7 M NaCl pH5.3.
• Molecular Weight: 17.2 kDa
• Purity: >95% by SDS-PAGE
• Endotoxin Level: <0.005 ng/ug ofIL4
• Biological Activity: Determined by thecell proliferation assay for IL4 for dose- dependent cell proliferation ofhuman TF-1 cells. The EDSO range is 0.8-1.2 ng/mL.
• Specific Activity: 1.2-0.8 x 106U/mg
• Reconstitution: Centrifuge vialpriorto opening. Add sterile low salt buffer to the vial to fully solubilizethe protein to a concentration not less than 100 ug/ml.
• Storage: Although stable atroom temperature for several weeks, lyophilized protein is best stored at-20°C. Store reconstituted protein in working aliquots at -20°C with acarrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) as a stabilizer for long term storage.Please note that the addition of any carrier protein into this product mayproduce unwanted endotoxin. This depends upon the particular applicationemployed. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
