| Purity |
> 95% as determined by BisTris PAGE
> 95% as determined by HPLC |
| Endotoxin Level |
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method. |
| Expression System |
HEK293 |
| Theoretical Molecular Weight |
16.63 kDa |
| Apparent Molecular Weight |
Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 26-36 kDa based on Bis-Tris PAGE result. |
| Formulation |
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). |
| Reconstitution |
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. |
| Storage & Stability |
Upon receiving, the product remains stable up to 6 months at -20 °C or below. Upon reconstitution, the product should be stable for 3 months at -80 °C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Target Background |
Many autoimmune skin diseases, such as bullous pemphigoid (BP), psoriasis and certain types of chronic urticaria, are associated with intensive pruritus. While histamine and neuropeptides have previously been ascribed to play a role in itch that accompanies these diseases, recent evidence suggests that the pruritogenic cytokine interleukin (IL)-31 is a major driver of pruritic responses. IL-31 was originally shown to be produced by activated helper T cells, particularly Th2 cells, mast cells, macrophages and dendritic cells. |
