Background: Interleukin-2(IL-2) is an interleukin; a type of cytokine signaling molecule in the immune system; belongs to the IL-2 family. It is a powerful immunoregulatory lymphokine produced by T-cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation. IL-2/IL-2R signaling is required for T-cell proliferation and other fundamental functions that are essential for the immune response. IL-2 stimulates growth and differentiation of B-cells; NK cells; lymphokine-activated killer cells; monocytes; macrophages and oligodendrocytes.

Activity: 1. Measure by its ability to induce proliferation in CTLL-2 cells. The ED50 for this effect is < 0.2 ng/mL The specific activity of recombinant human IL-2 is approximately > 2. 5 x10^7 IU/mg.
2. Measure by its ability to induce proliferation in NK cells. The ED50 for this effect is < 46ng/mL.

Sequence: Ala21-Thr153

Purity: > 95 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 10mM sodium citrate, pH 4.0
Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.
Please refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual.

Reconstitution: Please refer to the printed manual for detailed information.

Endotoxin: < 0.01 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.

Calculated MW: 15.5 kDa

Observed MW: 14 kDa

Storage: Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80℃. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8℃ for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20℃ for 3 months.

Shipping: This product is provided as lyophilized powder which is shipped with ice packs.
