IL-17A Protein, Human (CHO)

Cat. No.: HY-P73171
COA Handling Instructions

IL-17A is a homodimeric cytokine and plays a critical role in host defense mechanisms against many bacterial and fungal pathogens as well as allergic and autoimmune responses. IL-17A induces the production of antimicrobial peptides, cytokines, chemokines, and matrix metalloproteinases. IL-17A Protein, Human (CHO) is a recombinant human IL-17A protein and is expressed in CHO cells. It consists of 155 amino acids (M1-A155).

Description

IL-17A is a homodimeric cytokine and plays a critical role in host defense mechanisms against many bacterial and fungal pathogens as well as allergic and autoimmune responses. IL-17A induces the production of antimicrobial peptides, cytokines, chemokines, and matrix metalloproteinases[1][2]. IL-17A Protein, Human (CHO) is a recombinant human IL-17A protein and is expressed in CHO cells. It consists of 155 amino acids (M1-A155).

Background

Interleukin-17A (IL-17A), also known as CTLA-8, belongs to the IL-17 cytokine family. IL-17A is expressed in memory Th17 cells and is a product of memory CD4+ T cells. IL-17A is also produced by a wide variety of immune cells, including CD8+ T cells, γδT cells, natural killer T (NKT) cells, monocytes, and neutrophils[1][2][3].
The human IL-17A shares 63.23% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and 61.90% identity with rat.
IL-17A plays a critical role in host defense mechanisms against many bacterial and fungal pathogens as well as allergic and autoimmune responses. IL-17A induces the production of antimicrobial peptides (defensins and S100 proteins), cytokines (IL-6, G-CSF, and GM-CSF), chemokines (CXCL1, CXCL5, IL-8, CCL2, and CCL7), and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP1, MMP3, and MMP13). IL-17A is detrimental in viral infection through promoting neutrophilic inflammation. IL-17A is a homodimeric cytokine and shares similar biological activities with IL-17F. IL-17A binds to IL-17RA with high affinity, and IL-17RA is required for the biological activity of IL-17A. In tumorigenesis, IL-17A recruits myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) to dampen anti-tumor immunity. IL-17A also enhances tumor growth in vivo through the induction of IL-6[1][2].
IL-17A can be used for the research of autoimmune diseases, infection and cancer[1][4].

In Vitro

IL-17A (1 ng/mL; 24 h) inhibits the expression of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) in human primary keratinocytes[5].
IL-17A (.1–1 ng/mL; -24 h) significantly potentiates TNF-α-induced IL-8 protein secretion and gene expression in a concentration- and time-dependent manner[6].

Biological Activity

1.Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized human IL17A at 10 μg/mL (100 μl/well) can bind human IL17Ra and the EC50 is 20.0-48.0 ng/mL.
2. Measured by its ability to induce IL-6 secretion by NIH-3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cells in the presense of 20 ng/mL TNFα and the ED50 is 0.2-1 ng/mL.

Purity

Greater than 90% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
