Other Performance Data: Endotoxin Level: Measured by kinetic LAL analysis and is typically ≤ 1 EU/μg protein. Biologic Activity: The activity is determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of the proliferation of mouse CTLL-2 cells and is typcially less than 0.5 ng/mL.
Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: Interleukin-15 purity was determined to be greater than 98% as determined by HpLC, analysis by UV-Spectroscopy at 280nm, and by reducing and non-reducing SDS-pAGE.
Background: Interleukin 15 (IL-15) is a widely expressed pro-inflammatory cytokine related to IL-2. IL-15 promotes activation of T cells, neutrophils and macrophages and is critical to dendritic cell function in several model systems. IL-15 has been shown to play a role in several inflammatory disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and pulmonary inflammatory diseases. Emerging data suggests that IL-15 may serve as a good therapeutic target, as there appears to be a beneficial effect of IL-15 neutralization in models of psoriasis and diabetes. Human IL-15 shows activity on mouse cells. Recombinant human IL-15 is a non-glycosylated protein, containing 114 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 12.8 kDa.
