Product Properties Synonyms Interleukin 17;CTLA8; CTLA-8;Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 8; IL17; IL-17; IL17A; IL-17A; Uniprot No. Q62386 Source Mouse IL-17A Protein is expressed from HEK293 without tag. It contains Ala26-Ala158. Molecular Weight The protein has a predicted 15.0 kDa Purity > 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Biological Activity Measured by its ability to induce IL-6 secretion by NIH-3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cells. The EC50 for this effect is 0.12-1.25 ng/mL. Endotoxin < 0.01 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method. Formulation Dissolved in sterile PBS buffer. This solution can be diluted into other aqueous buffers. Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Concentration 0.2 mg/mL Shipping and Storage The product should be stored at -85~-65℃ for 1 year from date of receipt. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities when first used and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Figure Figure 1.Measured by its ability to induce IL-6 secretion by NIH-3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cells. The EC50 for this effect is 0.12-1.25 ng/mL.
