Introduction
IL10 is a cytokine produced primarily by monocytes and to a lesser extent by lymphocytes. This cytokine has pleiotropic effects in immunoregulation and inflammation. It down-regulates the expression of Th1 cytokines, MHC class II Ags, and costimulatory molecules on macrophages. It also enhances B cell survival, proliferation, and antibody production. This cytokine can block NF-kappa B activity, and is involved in the regulation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Knockout studies in mice suggested the function of this cytokine as an essential immunoregulator in the intestinal tract.
Description
IL-10 Recombinant Rat produced in E.coli is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 160 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18.6 kDa.
The Interleukin-10 Mouse is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
The protein was lyophilized containing 20mM Tris-HCl pH-8.0 and 100mM NaCl.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized IL-10 Rat Recombinant in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized IL-10 Rat although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Interleukin10 Rat recombinant 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 prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 97.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
