Introduction
Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is a 32kDa proinflammatory cytokine that may also regulate gene transcription in producer cells. IL-33 is structurally related to IL-1, which induces helper T cells to produce type 2 cytokines and acts through the receptor IL1RL-1 (IL1 receptor-like-1), which is known also as ST2. Binding of IL-33 to this receptor activates NF-kappa-B and MAP kinases and induces in vitro Th2 cells to produce cytokines. In vivo, IL-33 induces expression of IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 and leads to severe pathological changes in mucosal organs and in vitro, it can be divided to N-terminal fragment of 12kDa and C-terminal fragment of 18kDa by cleavage of caspase-1.
Description
Interleukin33 Mouse recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 159 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 17.7 kDa.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
The Mouse IL-33 was lyophilized from a sterile 0.2 micron filtered aqueous solution containing 10mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.5.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized IL-33 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized IL-33 Recombinant although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IL-33 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 90.0% as determined by analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Biological Activity
The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of murine D10S cells is 0.04ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 2.5x107units/mg.
