IL-9 (Gln19-Pro144)_x000D_
Accession # P15247 |
His |
| N-term |
C-term |
|
| Purity |
> 95% as determined by BisTris PAGE
> 95% as determined by HPLC |
| Endotoxin Level |
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method. |
| Biological Activity |
Measured in a cell proliferation assay using MO7e human megakaryocytic leukemic cells. The ED50 for this effect is < 3 ng/mL. Test result was comparable to standard batch. |
| Expression System |
HEK293 |
| Theoretical Molecular Weight |
15.4 kDa |
| Apparent Molecular Weight |
Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 40-50 kDa based on Bis-Tris PAGE result. |
| Formulation |
Lyophilized from 0.22μm 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 |
IL-9 is a pleiotropic cytokine that influences various distinct functions of different target cells such as T cells, B cells, mast cells and airway epithelial cells by activating STAT1, STAT3 and STAT5. Because of its pleiotropic functions, IL-9 has been demonstrated to be involved in several diseases, such as cancer, autoimmunity and other pathogen-mediated immune-regulated diseases. In this review, we focus on the role of Th9 and IL-9-producing cells in allergic asthma. |
