Summary |
Interleukin-10 (IL-10), also known as cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor (CSIF), is the charter member of the IL-10 family of α-helical cytokines that also includes IL-19, IL-20, IL-22, IL-24, and IL-26/AK155. IL-10 is secreted by many activated hematopoietic cell types as well as hepatic stellate cells, keratinocytes, and placental cytotrophoblasts. Whereas human IL-10 is active on mouse cells, mouse IL-10 does not act on human cells. IL-10 is a 178 amino acid molecule that contains two intrachain disulfide bridges and is expressed as a 36 kDa noncovalently associated homodimer. The IL-10 dimer binds to two IL-10 Rα/IL-10R1 chains, resulting in recruitment of two IL-10 Rβ/IL-10R2 chains and activation of a signaling cascade involving JAK1, TYK2, and STAT3. IL-10Rβ does not bind IL-10 by itself but is required for signal transduction. IL-10 is a critical molecule in the control of viral infections and allergic and autoimmune inflammation. It promotes phagocytic uptake and Th2 responses but suppresses antigen presentation and Th1 proinflammatory responses. |

Escherichia coli. |
Molecular Weight |
Approximately 18.6 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 160 amino acids. |
Biological Activity |
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using murine MC/9-2 cells is less than 1 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1.0 × 106 U/mg. |
Appearance |
Sterile filtered white lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 6.0, with 0.02 % Tween-20. |
Endotoxin |
Less than 0.01 EU/ug of rHuIL-10 GMP as determined by LAL method. |
Reconstitution |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
Stability and Storage |
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.- A minimum of 12 months when stored at ≤ -20 °C as supplied. Refer to lot specific COA for the Use by Date.- 1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.- 3 months, -20 to -70 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution. |
