Accession # A0A2K5UDJ4 |
His |
| N-term |
C-term |
|
| Purity |
> 95% as determined by Bis-Tris PAGE |
| Endotoxin Level |
Less than 1 EU per μg by the LAL method. |
| Biological Activity |
Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Human IL18, No Tag at 1 μg/ml (100 μl/well) on the plate can bind IL-18BP, His, Cynomolgus. Test result was comparable to standard batch. |
| Expression System |
HEK293 |
| Theoretical Molecular Weight |
21.14 kDa |
| Apparent Molecular Weight |
Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 35-65 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 |
Cytokines were the first modern immunotherapies to produce durable responses in patients with advanced cancer, components of the interleukin-18 (IL-18) pathway are upregulated on tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes, suggesting that IL-18 therapy could enhance anti-tumour immunity. IL-18BP, a high-affinity IL-18 decoy receptor, is frequently upregulated in diverse human and mouse tumours and limits the anti-tumour activity of IL-18 in mice |
