Other Performance Data: Biological Activity: Human IL-17A is fully biologically active when compared to standards via dose-dependent induction of IL-6 production in cultured mouse NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. The ED50 for recombinant human IL-17A in this assay was 1.4-2.1 ng/mL.Endotoxin Level: Measured by LAL is <0.01ng/µg or <0.1EU/µg.

Physical State: Lyophilized

Purity and Specificity: Recombinant protein corresponds to amino acids 19 - 155 of mature human IL-17A. Its molecular weight is 15,667 Daltons. Purity is greater than 90% as determined by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE and by analytical HPLC.

Background: Interleukin17-A is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated T cells and exists as a homodimer. This cytokine regulates the activities of NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases. IL-17A can stimulate the expression of IL6 and cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX-2), as well as enhance the production of nitric oxide (NO). High levels of this cytokine are associated with several chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis. IL17-A is the founding member of a group of cytokines called the IL-17 family. IL17-A was originally identified as a transcript from a rodent T-cell hybridoma. To elicit its functions, IL17 binds to a type I cell surface receptor called IL17R of which there are at least three variants: IL17RA, IL17RB, and IL17RC.

Low Endotoxin: Yes
