Rat Interleukin-5 Recombinant
Categories: HematopoietinsIL-3 familyRecombinant Rat Cytokines$70.00 – $4,700.00
Description
Accession
Q08125
Source
Optimized DNA sequence encoding Rat Interleukin-5 mature chain was expressed in Escherichia Coli.
Molecular weight
Native Rat Interleukin-5, generated by the proteolytic removal of the signal peptide and propeptide, the molecule has a calculated molecular mass of approximately 13 kDa. Recombinant IL-5 is a disulfide-linked homodimeric protein consisting of two 113 amino acid residue subunits,and migrates as an approximately 26 kDa protein under non-reducing conditions and as a 13 kDa protein under reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE.
Purity
>95%, as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Biological Activity
The ED(50) was determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of TF-1 cells was ≤.2 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of ≥ x units/mg.

Endotoxin
Endotoxin content was assayed using a LAL gel clot method. Endotoxin level was found to be less than 0.1 ng/µg(1EU/µg).
Presentation
Recombinant rat Interleukin-5 was lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered PBS solution.
Reconstitution
A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.
Storage
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least years from date of receipt at -20° C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at2° -8° C for one month, or at -20° C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Usage
This cytokine product is for research purposes only. It may not be used for therapeutics or diagnostic purposes.
