Catalogue Number | CYT-376 |
Synonyms | Interferon-gamma-inducing factor, IGIF, IL-1g, IL-18, IL1F4, MGC12320, IFN-gamma-inducing factor, Interleukin-1 gamma, IL-1 gamma, Iboctadekin. |
Introduction | IL-18 is a proinflammatory cytokine. This cytokine can induce the IFN-gamma production of T cells. The combination of this cytokine and IL12 has been shown to inhibit IL4 dependent IgE and IgG1 production, and enhance IgG2a production of B cells. IL-18 binding protein (IL18BP) can specifically interact with this cytokine, and thus negatively regulate its biological activity. |
Description | Interleukin-18 Rat Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 158 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18260 Dalton. The IL-18 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
Source | Escherichia Coli. |
Physical Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Formulation | Lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in water containing 0.4 x PBS pH=7.2. |
Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interleukin 18 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
Stability | Lyophilized Interleukin-18 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IL18 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Purity | Greater than 95.0% as determined by(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
Amino acid sequence | The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be His-Phe-Gly-Arg-Leu. |
Biological Activity | The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of IFN-gamma by murine lymph node cells (400,000cells/well) co-stimulated with sub optimal dose of ConA (0.75ug/ml) is 12ng/ml corresponding to a specific activity of 84,000U/mg. The medium was RPMI containing 10% FCS and 50µM 2-ME. |
Protein content | Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods 1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.213 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics). 2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a standard solution of IL-18 as a Reference Standard. |
