CYT-212 | 重组人白介素-5 (rHuIL-5) | 2μg/10μg/1mg | Prospec |
Background: | |
Interleukin-5 (IL5), also known as eosinophil differentiation factor (EDF), is a lineage-specific cytokine for eosinophilpoiesis [1, 2]. It regulates eosinophil growth and activation [1], and thus plays an important role in diseases associated with increased levels of eosinophils, including asthma. IL5 has a similar overall fold to other cytokines (e.g., IL2, IL4 and GCSF), but while these exist as monomeric structures, IL5 is a homodimer. The fold contains an anti-parallel 4-alpha-helix bundle with a left handed twist, connected by a 2-stranded anti-parallel beta-sheet . The monomers are held together by 2 interchain disulphide bonds.

|
Description : | |
Recombinant Human IL-5 produced in E.Coli is a dimeric, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 132 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 26522.84 Dalton.
The rHuIL-5 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
|
|
Physical Appearance: | |
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
|
|
Formulation: | |
The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) sterile solution with no additives.
|
|
Solubility: | |
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized rHuIL-5 in sterile 18Mω-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
|
|
Stability: |
|
Lyophilized rHuIL-5 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 C. Upon reconstitution rHuIL-5 should be stored at 4 C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18 C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
|
|
Purity: | |
Greater than 98.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Anion-exchange FPLC. (c) Analysis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE Silver Stained gel.
|
|
Amino acid sequence: | |
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Ile-Pro-Thr-Glu.
|
|
Dimers and aggregates: | |
Less than 1% as determined by silver-stained SDS-PAGE gel analysis.
|
|
Biological Activity: | |
ProSpec's rHuIL-5 is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of the proliferation of TF-1 cells was found to be less then 0.15ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of 6 x 106 IU/mg.
|
|
Endotoxin: | |
Less than 0.1 ng/µg (IEU/µg) of rHuIL-5.
|
|
Protein content: | |
Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:
1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.625 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (InliGenetics).
