IL-21 induces the production of IgG1 and IgG3 in B-cells. IL-21 may promote the transition between innate and adaptive immunity. IL-21 may have a role in proliferation and maturation of natural killer cells in synergy with IL15. IL-21 stimulates interferon gamma production in T-cells and natural killer cells by synergy with IL15 and IL18. Dysregulation of IL-21 has a role in multiple immune-mediated diseases including lupus, psoriasis and chronic inflammatory diseases.
Description
Recombinant Human Interleukin-21 is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Gln30-Ser162 is expressed.
Molecular Weight
15.6 KDa
Accession Number
Q9HBE4
Endotoxin Level
Less than 0.001 ng/ug (0.01 EU/ug) as determined by LAL test.
Notes
Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100ug/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
Shipping
The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature listed below.
