Interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1alpha) is a non-secreted proinflammatory cytokine produced mainly by activated macrophages, as well as neutrophils, epithelial cells, and endothelial cells. It possesses metabolic, physiological, haematopoietic activities, and plays one of the central roles in the regulation of the immune responses. Both IL-1alpha and IL-1β binds to the same receptor and has similar if not identical biological properties. Among various species,the amino acid sequence of mature IL-1alpha s conserved 60 % to 70 % and human IL1 has been found to be biologically active on murine cell lines .
来历
Escherichia coli.
份子量
Approximately 17.9 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 156 amino acids.
生物活性
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using murine D10S cells is less than 2 pg/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 5.0 × 108 IU/mg.
表面
Sterile filtered white lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
配方
Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
内毒素
Less than 1 EU/ug of rMuIL-1α as determined by LAL method.
消融申明
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
贮存前提
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.- 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 °C as supplied.- 1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.- 3 months, -20 to -70 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
