Recombinant Human Interleukin-7 (rHuIL-7)

• Catalog Number: orb1495035
• Category: Proteins
• Description: IL-7 is a hematopoietic growth factor which affects primarily early B and T cells. Produced by thymic stromal cells, spleen cells and keratinocytes, IL-7 can also co-stimulate the proliferation of mature T cells in combination with other factors such as ConA and IL-2.
• Form/Appearance: Lyophilized from a 0.2mm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
• Purity: > 95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
• MW: Approximately 17.4 kD, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 153 amino acids.
• Protein Sequence: MDCDIEGKDG KQYESVLMVS IDQLLDSMKE IGSNCLNNEF NFFKRHICDA NKEGMFLFRA ARKLRQFLKM NSTGDFDLHL LKVSEGTTIL LNCTGQVKGR KPAALGEAQP TKSLEENKSL KEQKKLNDLC FLKRLLQEIK TCWNKILMGT KEH
• Source: Escherichia coli.
• Biological Activity: Test in process
• Endotoxins: Less than 1EU/mg of rHuIL-7 as determined by LAL method.
• Storage: This lyophilized preparation is stable for several weeks at 2-8°C, but should be kept at -20°C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8°C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20°C to -70°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
• Buffer/Preservatives: Lyophilized from a 0.2mm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
• Note: For research use only
• Application notes: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at < -20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
• Expiration Date: 6 months from date of receipt.
