IL-17B Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

IL-17B is a proinflammatory cytokine and stimulates the release of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and IL-1β. IL-17B plays an important role in cancer progression, angiogenesis, and inflammatory arthritis. IL-17B Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc) is a recombinant human IL-17B protein with hFc tag at the C-terminus and is expressed in HEK293 cells.

Biological Activity

Description

IL-17B is a proinflammatory cytokine and stimulates the release of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and IL-1β. IL-17B plays an important role in cancer progression, angiogenesis, and inflammatory arthritis[1][2]. IL-17B Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc) is a recombinant human IL-17B protein with hFc tag at the C-terminus and is expressed in HEK293 cells.

Background

Interleukin-17B (IL-17B) belongs to the IL-17 cytokine family and is a proinflammatory cytokine. IL-17B is expressed in adult pancreas, small intestine, stomach, spinal cord and testis[1].
The human IL-17B shares 88.33% amino acid sequence identity with mouse.
IL-17B is secreted as a non-covalent dimer glycoprotein. IL-17B shares about 27% amino acid identity with IL-17A and stimulates the release of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and IL-1β in the THP-1 monocytic cell line. The receptor of IL-17B is IL-17RB, which belongs to the IL-17 receptor family. IL-17B shares IL-17RB with IL-17E. IL-17B inhibits IL-17E binding to IL-17RA/IL-17RB complexes, exhibits protumor roles and IL-17E antitumor activities[1][2].
IL-17B plays an important role in cancer progression, angiogenesis, and inflammatory arthritis[1].

In Vitro

rhIL17B (0-100 ng/mL; 90 min) negatively impacts on HECV cell-matrix adhesion and migration[1].
rhIL17B (0-250 ng/mL; 4-5 h) can reduce HECV tubule formation[1].
rhIL17B (250ng/mL) reduces HECV tubule formation and reduces the capacity of HECV cells to migrate in a scratch wounding assay, and significant differences in migrated distance were observed following 75 minute incubation[3].
Pre-treatment with rhIL17B (10 ng/mL; 72 h) significantly decreased paclitaxel-induced cytotoxicity in BT20 and MDA-MB-468 cells and also in MCF7 cells, while it had not effect on the IL-17RB negative MDA-MB-435S cell line[4].

In Vivo

rhIL-17B (0.1-10 μg/mouse; i.p.; once) elicits neutrophil migration in BALB/c mice[5].

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4.

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

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
