IL-5 Protein, Canine (sf9, His)
IL-5 protein is expressed by T lymphocytes and NK cells and plays a crucial role in eosinophil survival, differentiation, and chemotaxis. It also promotes immunoglobulin production, growth and differentiation in B cells. IL-5 Protein, Canine (sf9, His) is the recombinant canine-derived IL-5 protein, expressed by Sf9 insect cells , with N-His labeled tag.

Background
IL-5 Protein is a homodimeric cytokine mainly expressed by T-lymphocytes and NK cells, playing a crucial role in the survival, differentiation, and chemotaxis of eosinophils. It also acts on B-cells, promoting immunoglobulin production, growth, and differentiation. Mechanistically, IL-5 Protein exerts its effects by binding to a receptor composed of IL5RA and CSF2RB subunits, activating kinases such as LYN, SYK, and JAK2. This activation leads to signal propagation through the RAS-MAPK and JAK-STAT5 pathways. IL-5 Protein exists as a disulfide-linked homodimer and interacts with IL5RA and CSF2RB subunits.

Product Properties
Lyophilized powder.
<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.
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).
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.
Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
