| Summary |
Interleukin-3 (IL-3) is a type of biological signal (cytokine) which is encoded by the IL-3 gene located on chromosome 5 and produced primarily by activated T cells beside human thymic epithelial cells, activated murine mast cells, murine keratinocytes and neurons/astrocytes. The protein acts in hematopoiesis by controlling the production, differentiation, and function of 2 related white cell populations of the blood, the granulocytes and the monocytes-macrophages. In addition, it exerts its biological activities through binding to interleukin-3 receptors included alpha and β subunits. The Mouse IL-3 is different from human IL-3 and contains 140 amino acids residues. Specifically, mouse and human IL-3 share low homology and have not cross species activity. |
| Source |
Escherichia coli. |
| Molecular Weight |
Approximately 14.8 kDa globular protein containing 134 amino acid residues. |
| Biological Activity |
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of murine M-NFS-60 cells is less than 0.05 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 2 × 107 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-3 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. |
