Further Information

Alternate Names/Synonyms:
Interleukin-2; Aldesleukin
Biological Activity:
Measured in a cell proliferation assay using CTLL2 cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.35-1.4ng/ml.
EClass:
32160000
Endotoxin:
<0.01EU/µg protein (LAL test; Lonza).
Form (Short):
liquid
Formulation:
Lyophilized from sterile 0.1% TFA, 70% acetonitrile.
Handling Advice:
Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.Centrifuge lyophilized vial before opening and reconstitution.
Long Description:
Protein. The extracellular domain of human IL-2 (aa 21-153) with a N-terminal Met. Source: E. coli. Endotoxin content: <0.01EU/µg protein (LAL test; Lonza). Lyophilized from sterile 0.1% TFA, 70% acetonitrile. Purity: >95% (SDS-PAGE). Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a 133 amino acid glycoprotein with one intramolecular disulfide bond and variable glycosylation. It is secreted by activated T cells and induces proliferation and maturation of activated T cells, natural killer cells, and lymphokine activated killer cells. IL-2 also stimulates proliferation of antibody-producing B cells, activates neutrophils, and induces mononuclear cells to secrete IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha and -beta. Moreover, studies have shown that IL-2 is required for activation-induced apoptosis, an important hemeostatic mechanism in the immune system, which is involved in the maintenance of peripheral tolerance to self-antigens.
Molecular Weight:
~14kDa (SDS-PAGE)
