IL-27 Protein, Human (CHO, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

IL-27 (Interleukin-27) is a heterodimeric cytokine of the IL-12 family, composed of two subunits, EBI3 (Epstein-Barr-virus-induced molecule 3) and p28. IL-27 enhances the development, proliferation, and cytotoxic activity of CD8+ T cells, thereby indirectly promoting anti-tumor immunity[ 2]. IL-27 Protein, Human (CHO, His) is a recombinant protein with a His label that consists of two subunits, EBI3 (IL27B) (229 amino acids (M1-K229)) and IL27A (214 amino acids (F29-P243)), is produced by CHO cells.

Biological Activity

Description

IL-27 (Interleukin-27) is a heterodimeric cytokine of the IL-12 family, composed of two subunits, EBI3 (Epstein-Barr-virus-induced molecule 3) and p28[1]. IL-27 enhances the development, proliferation, and cytotoxic activity of CD8+ T cells, thereby indirectly promoting anti-tumor immunity[ 2]. IL-27 Protein, Human (CHO, His) is a recombinant protein with a His label that consists of two subunits, EBI3 (IL27B) (229 amino acids (M1-K229)) and IL27A (214 amino acids (F29-P243)), is produced by CHO cells.

Background

IL-27 is mainly produced by cells of myeloid origin such as monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and microglial cells, in response to stimuli acting through Toll-like receptors or TNF-R-family members[3].
The amino acid sequence of human IL-27 protein has low homology for mouse IL-27 protein.
IL-27 acts through a heterodimer receptor consisting of IL-27Rα (WSX1) and gp130 chains, activates the JAK/STAT signaling pathway, which mainly involves STAT1 and STAT3 phosphorylation. STAT3 activation by IL-27 induces the expression of SOCS3, which inhibits further IL-27 signaling in a negative feedback loop, through inhibition of JAK activity[3].
IL-27 plays multiple roles in proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory immune responses. IL-27 enhances NF-κB/AP-1 activity and increases IL-12p40, TNF-α, and IL-6 production, increases TLR4 and TLR5 expression[5]. IL-27 exerts inhibitory effects upon hPMSC adherence and proliferation, and promotes migration of hPMSCs. Besides, IL-27 can upregulate PDL1 expression and enhance the regulatory effects of hPMSCs on Th1 and Th2 cell differentiations and IL-10 secretion from CD4+T cells[6]. IL-27 induces the proliferation and differentiation in hematopoietic stem cells[7]. IL-27 increases IL-10 levels and the expression of p-STAT1, p-STAT3[8]. IL-27 promotes the development and differentiation of CD4+IL-10+ T cells[9].

In Vitro

IL-27 (human) (5 ng/mL; 24 h) enhances LPS-induced IL-12p4, TNF-α, and IL-6 production in THP-1 and PMA-THP-1 cells[5].
IL-27 (human) (5 ng/mL; 16 h) increases TLR4 and TLR5 expression in monocytes and macrophages[5].
IL-27 (human) (2, 3 ng/mL; 6, 12, 24 h) significantly inhibits cell proliferation, adherence and promotes migration in hPMSCs, increases IL-1 secretion from CD4+T cells, and upregulates PDL1 expression via the JAK/STAT1 pathway[6].
IL-27 (human) (.1, 1, 1, 1 ng/mL; 9 days) enhances proliferation and differentiation of human CD34+ cells[7].

Verified Bioactivity

1. Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized human IL27-His at 10 μg/mL (100 μl/well) can bind human IL27RA-Fc, The EC50 of human IL27RA-Fc is 0.2-0.46 μg/mL.
2. Measured in antiviral assays using HepG2 cells infected with vesicular stomatitisvirus(VSV). The ED50 for this effect is typically ≤92 ng/mL.
3. Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized human IL27 at 10 μg/mL (100 μl/well) can bind human IL27RA-His. The ED50 of this effect is 0.2938 μg/mL.
