Cat. No.: Z00374 Size: 1 mg or 10 ug or 2 ug Source: Chinese Hamster Ovary Cells MW: 18,606.29 Dalton IL-10 (human) PRODUCT INFORMATION Description Recombinant Human IL-10 produced in CHO is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 161 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18,606.29 Dalton. The rHuIL-10 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Purity Greater than 98.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Anion-exchange FPLC. (c) Analysis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE Silver Stained gel. Endotoxin Level Less than 0.1 ng/μg (IEU/μg) of rHuIL-10. Quantitation Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods: 1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm. 2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a calibrated solution of IL-10 as a Reference Standard. Specific Activity The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependant co-stimulation with murine IL-4 of MC-9 cells was found to be < 2 ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of 1.5 x 10 7 IU/mg. Storage Lyophilized rHuIL-10 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 °C. Upon reconstitution rHuIL-10 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. Formulation The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1 mg/ml) solution containing 60mM PBS pH=6.5 and 100 mM NaCl, Reconstitution It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized rHuIL-10 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100 μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
