Product Description

Interleukin 7 (IL-7) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL7 gene. IL-7 stimulates the differentiation of multipotent (pluripotent) hematopoietic stem cells into lymphoid progenitor cells. It is important for proliferation during certain stages of B-cell maturation, T and NK cell survival, development and homeostasis.

Source:
Escherichia coli

Endotoxin Test:
<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method. Activity:
Measured in a cell proliferation assay using PHA-activated human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBMC). The ED₅₀ for this effect is <0.2 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant mouse IL-7 is > 5 x 10⁶ IU/mg.

Purity:
>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Ni-NTA chromatography

Formulation:
The protein was lyophilized from a solution containing 1X PBS, pH 7.4.

Reconstitution:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H₂O to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.

Storage:
Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C. Upon reconstitution, protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C.

Note:
Please use within one month after protein reconstitution.
