Background: Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is an interleukin, a type of cytokine signaling molecule in the immune system，belongs to the IL-2 family. It is a powerful immunoregulatory lymphokine produced by T-cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation. IL-2/IL-2R signaling is required for T-cell proliferation and other fundamental functions that are essential for the immune response. IL-2 stimulates growth and differentiation of B-cells, NK cells, lymphokine-activated killer cells, monocytes, macrophages and oligodendrocytes.

Alternate Names: Interleukin-2; IL-2; T-Cell Growth Factor; TCGF; Aldesleukin; IL2

Description: Recombinant Human Interleukin-2 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ala21-Thr153 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.

Accession: P60568

Molecular Weight: 16.4 KDa

Apparent Molecular Weight: 14-18 KDa, reducing conditions

Storage Condition: 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.

Purity: Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Endotoxin: Less than 0.001 ng/µg (0.01 EU/µg) as determined by LAL test.

Biological Activity: Measured in a cell proliferation assay using CTLL-2 mouse cytotoxic T cells The specific activity of Recombinant Human IL-2 is ≥1×107 IU/mg.

Redissolve: 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. 

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

Storage: 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.
