Biological Activity

Description

IL-1RA/IL-1RN Protein, Human is a member of the IL-1 family that binds to IL-1 receptors.

Background

The production of Human Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Protein (IL-1ra) is stimulated by many substances including adherent IgG, other cytokines, and bacterial or viral components. Endogenous IL-1Ra is produced in numerous experimental animal models of disease as well as in human autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases. Treatment of human diseases with recombinant human IL-1Ra shows an absence of benefit in sepsis syndrome[1]. IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) has provided a tool for blocking IL-1 activity in vivo, leading to a detailed understanding of the role of this cytokine in the inflammatory response[2].

Verified Bioactivity

Measured by its ability to inhibit IL-1 alpha -dependent proliferation in CTLL-2. The ED50 for this effect is 0.6883-1.145 ng /mL in the presence of 50 pg/mL of recombinant porcine IL-1 alpha, corresponding to a specific activity is 8.73×105-1.45×106 units/mg.

MCE Validation Data

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

1.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, 8% trehalose, 4% mannitol, 50 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween 80, pH 7.5.
2.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.
3.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 50 mM Tris-HCl, 300 mM NaCl, pH 8.0.
Please refer to the lot-specific COA for specific buffer information.
Note: For SPR assay, please replace the buffer. Primary amine components (e.g., Tris, imidazole) can affect protein-coupled chips.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping
