Murine/Rat Cytokine/Growth Factor/Chemokines Sample Spec
sheets (subject to change without notice):
IL-2 is a powerful immunoregulatory lymphokine produced by T-cells in response
to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation. IL-2/IL-2R signaling is required for
T-cell proliferation and other fundamental functions which are essential
for the immune response. IL-2 stimulates growth and differentiation of B-cells,
NK cells, lymphokine activated killer cells, monocytes, macrophages and
oligodendrocytes. Recombinant rat IL-2 is a 15.3 kDa protein containing 134
amino acid residues.

Supplied: Lyophilized powder from 10mM sodium citrate pH 4.0 with no
additives.
Source: E. Coli
Purity: >98% by SDS-Page and HPLC analysis. Endotoxin level is less than
0.1ng per ug
Reconstitution: The lyophilized rtIL2 should be reconstituted in water to
a concentration of 0.1-1.0mg/ml. Allow to set at least 30 minutes at 4 DEG
C, Mix well. If desired, centrifuge for 1-2 minutes at 1000 rpm to concentrate
material in vial. This solution can be diluted into other buffered solutions
or stored at 4 DEG C for 1 week or -20 DEG C for future use.
Note:If this material is not to be used for coating or labeling (or other
applications requiring carrier free material), the addition of 0.1% BSA to
dilution buffers or dilution in sterile culture media is recommended to enhance
stability and minimize absorption to vial. Ideally, maintain stock
>20ug/ml.
Storage: The lyophilized powder is stable at room temperature for a few week,
but it is best stored desiccated at - 20 Deg C.Reconstituted rat IL-2 should
be stored in working aliquots at -20 DEG C. AVOID FREQUENT FREEZE THAW
CYCLES.
Reactivity: The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the
proliferation of murine CTLL-2 cells is < 0.4 ng/ml, corresponding to
a specific activity of > 2.5 x 10 E06 units/mg.
