IL 6 Protein

SKU: orb429414

Description

Recombinant of IL 6 protein

Images & Validation

• Application Notes:
  Protein content: Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.55 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics). 2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a standard solution of IL-6 as a Reference Standard

Key Properties

• Source: Escherichia Coli
• Biological Activity: The ED50 is less than 0.01 ng/ml as determined by dose-dependent stimulation of mouse 7TD1 cells.
• Protein Sequence: The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Phe-Pro-Thr-Ser
• Purity: Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Storage & Handling

• Storage: Stability: Lyophilized Interleukin-6 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IL6 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles
• Form/Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
• Buffer/Preservatives: The protein was lyophilized from 0.02% TFA.
• Disclaimer: For research use only
