Catalog #: CYT-383
Description:
Interleukin-3 Rat Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 140 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 16 kDa.
The IL-3 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms:
MCGF (Mast cell growth factor), Multi-CSF, HCGF, P-cell stimulation factor, IL-3, MGC79398, MGC79399.
Source:
Escherichia Coli.
Amino Acid Sequence:
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Ser-Asp-Arg-Gly.
Purity:
Greater than 95.0% as determined by(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Solubility:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interleukin 3 in sterile 18MΩ–cm H2O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Formulation:
Lyophilized from a 1mg/ml solution without any additives.
Stability:
Lyophilized Interleukin-3 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 °C. Upon reconstitution IL3 should be stored at 4 °C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18 °C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Activity:
The ED50= 3-10 ng/ml corresponding to a specific activity of 100,000-333,334IU/mg determined by the dose dependent proliferation of murine NFS-60 cells.
Physical Appearance:
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Protein Content:
Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods
1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.171 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics).
2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a standard solution of IL-3 as a Reference Standard.
Usage:
Denovo Biotechnology's products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drugs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals.
