Recombinant Human IL-2 (aldesleukin)

• Background :

  Recombinant Human Interleukin-2 is a highly purified protein with a molecular weight of approximately 15,300 Daltons. The chemical name is des-alanyl-1, serine-145 Human Interleukin-2. It is produced by recombinant DNA technology using a genetically engineered E. coli strain containing an analog of the human interleukin-2 gene. Genetic engineering techniques were used to modify the Human IL-2 gene, and the resulting expression clone encodes a modified Human IL-2. This recombinant form differs from native Interleukin-2 in following ways: it is not glycosylated; the molecule has serine substituted for cysteine at amino acid position 145; the aggregation state of molecule is likely to be different from that of native IL-2.

• Description :

  Recombinant Human Interleukin-2 is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Pro22-Thr153 (Cys145Ser) is expressed.

• Shipping Conditions :

  The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature listed below.

• Storage Conditions :

  Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.

• Storage Temperature :

  Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.

• Notes :

  Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
