Recombinant Rat IL-17A
IL-17A, also named CTLA8 and IL17, is belonging to the IL-17 family and is encoded by the IL-17A gene in humans. The IL-17 family is comprised of at least six proinflammatory cytokines that share a conserved cysteine-knot structure but diverge at the N terminus. This cytokine regulates the activities of NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases, and can stimulate the expression of IL-6 and cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX-2), as well as enhance the production of nitric oxide (NO). IL-17 family members are glycoproteins secreted as dimers that induce local cytokine production and recruit granulocytes to sites of inflammation.

Stability & Storage |
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. |
|
Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered concentrated solution in 2 × PBS, pH 6.5. |
|
Reconstitution |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in 4 mM HCl 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. |
|
Biological Activity |
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by inducing IL-6 secretion of murine NIH/3T3 cells is less than 1.0 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1.0 × 106 IU/mg. |
|
Shipping Condition |
Gel pack. |
|
Handling |
Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. |
