Other Performance Data: Biological Activity: Mouse p28 biological activity was measured via dose-dependent inhibition of TGFß and IL-6-induced IL-17A expression in mouse CD4 splenocytes. 50ng/ml of Mouse p28 is capable of inhibiting >25% of IL-17A expression in this assay. no acceptance criteria limits established. Endotoxin Level: Measured by LAL is typically ≤ 1 EU/μg (with a 50% confidence range).
Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: The p28 subunit of IL-27 is produced with no animal-derived raw products, animal free equipment and animal free protocols. Purity was determined to be greater than 97% as determined by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE.
Background: The p28 subunit of IL-27 (IL-27/p28), also known as Interleukin-30 (IL-30), is a member of the IL-12 family of cytokines. When combined with EBI3 (Epstein-Barr virus induced gene 3), p28 forms a heterodimer known as IL-27. p28 is thought to be a pro-inflammatory cytokine inducing immuno-modulatory effects, but the details of these effects are currently unclear and research is focused on delineating its specific biological functions. Recombinant mouse p28 is a non-glycosylated protein, containing 207 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 23.7 kDa.
Low Endotoxin: Yes
