Mouse recombinant IL-33 (Interleukin-33) protein, AF

About this product

Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is a 17.65 kDa cytokine with 159 amino acid residues. IL-33 is a member of the IL-1 family and secreted from various cell types, such as mast cells, macrophages, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells. IL-33 activates NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways that stimulate the secretion of type 2 cytokines like IL-5 and IL-13 when IL-33 binds to the ST2 receptor primarily expressed in mast cells and Th2 cells. In addition to Th type 2 responses, IL-33 participates in maintaining barrier tissue defense.

Applications

Cell Culture

Purification

>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Endotoxin

<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.

Bioactivity

Measure by its ability to induce proliferation in D10.G4.1 cells. The ED50 for this effect is <40 pg/mL. The specific activity of recombinant mouse IL-33 is > 2 x 107 IU/mg.

Form

The protein was lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution containing 1X PBS, pH 7.4. If you have any concerns or special requirements, please confirm with us.

Reconstitution

Centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 5 mins before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution at room temperature for at least 20 mins to ensure sufficient re-dissolved. Do Not Vortex! Vigorous shaking may impair the biological activity of the protein.

Molecular Weight

The protein has a calculated MW of 18.51 kDa. The protein migrates as 17-25 kDa under reducing condition (SDS-PAGE analysis) .

Storage Conditions

Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C for 1 year. Upon reconstitution, store at 2°C to 8°C for up to 1 week. Further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein or stabilizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 10%FBS, 5%HSA or 5% trehalose solution), protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C for 3-6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
