| Summary |
Interleukin-36 (IL-36) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine which plays an important role in the pathophysiology of several diseases. IL-36alpha, IL-36β, and IL-36gamma (formerly IL-1F6, IL-1F8, and IL-1F9) are IL-1 family members that signal through the IL-1 receptor family members IL-1Rrp2 (IL-1RL2) and IL-1RAcP. Studies showed IL-36alpha is mainly found in skin and lymphoid tissues, but also in fetal brain, trachea, stomach and intestine. Notably, IL-36 alpha is the only novel IL-1 family member expressed on T-cells. Recombinant human interleukin-36 alpha (153 a.a.) contains 153 amino acids residues which is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide and it shares 57 – 68 % a.a. sequence identity with mouse, rabbit, equine and bovine IL-36alpha and 27 – 57 % a.a. sequence identity with other novel IL-1 family members. |
| Source |
Escherichia coli. |
| Molecular Weight |
Approximately 17.1 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 153 amino acids. |
| Biological Activity |
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by inducing IL-8 secretion in human preadipocytes is less than 10 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1.0 × 105 IU/mg. |
| Appearance |
Sterile filtered white lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered concentrated solution in 20 mM Tris, 300 mM NaCl, pH 8.0, 0.1 % Tween 80. |
| Endotoxin |
Less than 1 EU/ug of rHuIL-36α, 153a.a. 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.- 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 °C as supplied.- 1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.- 3 months, -20 to -70 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution. |
