Background: IL-21 stimulates proliferation of B-cell stimulated by crosslinking of the CD40 antigen. It inhibits proliferation stimulated by IL-4 plus anti-IgM. IL-21 augments stimulation of the proliferation of naive CD45RA(+) but not memory CD45R0(+) T-cells mediated by engagement of CD3. IL-21 stimulates the proliferation of bone marrow progenitor cells and the expression of the NK-cell marker CD56 in the presence of IL-15. The Interleukin-21 receptor is closely related to human IL-2 beta receptor. The receptor contains a WSXWS motif in the extracellular region, typical of type 1 cytokine receptors. The receptor is expressed on NK-cells, T- cells, and B-cell line. The functional signaling complex activates Janus kinases JAK1, JAK3, and the STAT proteins STAT1, and STAT3.

Biological Activity: The ED₅₀ was determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of activated B-cells.

Description: Recombinant IL-21 is a disulfide-linked homodimeric protein consisting of 132 amino acid residues, and migrates as an approximately 15 kDa protein under non-reducing and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE. Optimized DNA sequence encoding murine Interleukin-21 mature chain was expressed in E. coli.

Endotoxin Level: <0.1 ng/µg (1 EU/µg), using the LAL gel clot method.

Format: lyophilized protein

Formulation: Lyophilized from 0.2 µm filtered PBS, pH 7.5.

Genbank: Q9HBE4

Purity: ≥97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC

Reconstitution: Reconstitute at 0.1-1.0 mg/ml in distilled water. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers. To maximize product collection from vial surface, vortex briefly and then spin down to recollect the liquid.

Storage Stability: The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt when stored at -20°C. Upon reconstitution, store in working aliquots at +4°C for up to one month, or at -20°C for up to six months, in the presence of a carrier protein. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Uniprot: Q9HBE4

Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.

Biosafety Level: Not applicable (BSL-1)
