Overview
Recombinant Human Interleukin-7 (IL-7) is a hematopoietic cytokine critical to lymphocyte development and survival. It is secreted by stromal epithelial cells in the thymus, bone marrow, and intestinal mucosa, and it plays a central role in supporting early T and B cell proliferation. This non-glycosylated IL-7 is produced in E. coli and purified to high homogeneity, offering a reliable reagent for immune and hematopoietic research models.
Key Features and Benefits
- Functionally Active: Potently induces lymphoid proliferation in bioassays (ED₅₀ < 0.5 ng/mL).
- Endotoxin-Safe: LAL-tested, < 1.0 EU/µg, ensuring compatibility with sensitive in vitro applications.
- High Purity: SDS-PAGE verified to exceed 95% purity.
- Proven Performance: Validated in dose-response assays with consistent biological activity.
- Stable Format: Lyophilized preparation supports long-term storage and easy reconstitution.
Reconstitution Instructions
To ensure optimal activity and protein integrity:
- Centrifuge the Vial: Briefly spin to collect all lyophilized material.
- Add Sterile Solvent: Reconstitute in sterile distilled water to reach ≥ 0.1 mg/mL final concentration.
- Mix Gently: Gently swirl to dissolve; do not vortex or shake vigorously.
- Dilute for Application: For downstream use, dilute in appropriate buffers containing carrier protein.
- Storage: Store at 2–8°C for short-term use (≤ 1 month), or –20°C for long-term (≤ 6 months).
- Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Quality Control (QC)
- 95% purity confirmed by SDS-PAGE
- Endotoxin levels determined by LAL assay
- Bioactivity confirmed via cell-based functional assays
