| Summary |
Interleukin-11 (IL-11) is encoded by the II11 gene. IL-11 is a multifunctional cytokine first isolated from bone marrow-derived stromal cells. IL-11 receptor activation requires formation of a complex of two IL-11 molecules with two molecules of the ligand-binding IL-11 Ralpha subunit and two molecules of the expressed cell signaling β subunit, gp130. IL-11 is a member of the IL-6 superfamily, distinguished based on their use of the common co-receptor gp130. IL-11 can directly stimulate the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells and megakaryocyte progenitor cells, and induce megakaryocyte maturation resulting in increased platelet production. Mature murine IL-11 shares 88 % amino acid sequence identity with human IL-11. |
| Source |
Escherichia coli. |
| Molecular Weight |
Approximately 19.1 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 179 amino acids. |
| Biological Activity |
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using murine T11 cells is less than 2 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 5.0 × 105 IU/mg. |
| Appearance |
Sterile filtered white lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered solution in PBS, pH 7.4. |
| Endotoxin |
Less than 1 EU/ug of rMuIL-11 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. |
