Biological Activity

Description

IL-33 Protein, Mouse is a tissue-derived nuclear cytokine from the IL-1 family abundantly expressed in endothelial cells, epithelial cells and fibroblast-like cells, both during homeostasis and inflammation.

Background

Interleukin-33 (IL-33) was originally described as an inducer of type 2 immune responses, activating T helper 2 cells and mast cells. Evidence shows that IL-33 also potently stimulates group 2 innate lymphoid cells, regulatory T cells, TH1 cells, CD8+ T cells and natural killer cells[1]. IL-33 is a crucial immune modulator with pleiotropic activities in type-2, type-1 and regulatory immune responses, and important roles in allergic, fibrotic, infectious, and chronic inflammatory diseases[2].

Verified Bioactivity

1.The ED50 is <0.5 ng/mL as measured by murine D10S cells, corresponding to a specific activity of >2.0 × 106 units/mg.
2.Measured in a cell proliferation assay using CTLL-2 cells. The ED50 for this effect is 0.007306 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity is 1.37×108 units/mg.
3.Immobilized Mouse IL-33 at 5 μg/mL (100 μl/well) can bind Mouse ST2-Fc.The ED50 of Mouse ST2-Fc is 0.194 μg/mL.
4.Immobilized Mouse ST2 (V192A, C-Fc) at 5 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Mouse IL-33: Biotinylated by NHS-biotin prior to testing. The EC50 of Mouse IL-33 is 5-13 ng/mL.
5.Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Mouse ST2 at 5 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind biotinylated Mouse IL-33, the ED50 for this effect is 18.79 ng/mL.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

1.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, 1 mM EDTA.
2.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.
Please refer to the lot-specific COA for specific buffer information.

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
