Description
IL-5 Protein, Rat (CHO), a CHO cell derived cytokine, stimulates B cell growth and increases immunoglobulin secretion.
Background
Interleukin-5 (IL-5) is a T-cell derived cytokine which stimulates eosinophil production and activation in human, mice and sheep. IL-5 is active as a growth factor for mouse but not human B cells. The role of IL-5 on ruminant B cells has not been clearly defined. By hybridisation with human IL-5 cDNA, the ovine IL-5 gene is isolated from a liver genomic library. The IL-5 cDNA is obtained by reverse-transcriptase PCR using primers designed from the 5' and 3' coding sequence derived from the ovine IL-5 gene. The sequences of the cDNA shows that there is 79% and 73% nucleotide homology with the human and mouse sequences. The ovine IL-5 cDNA encodes a protein of 132 amino acids and the level of amino acid homology with human and mouse IL-5 is 64% and 56%, respectively. Two cysteine residues are conserved in ovine, human and mouse IL-5. There are two potential N-linked glycoyslation sites in ovine IL-5[1].

Product Properties
Lyophilized powder.
Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS.
<0.2 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.
