Invitrogen™ Mouse IL-2 (ELISA Standard) Recombinant Protein

Recombinant Protein

Description: mouse IL-2 (also known as TCGF) is an ~17 kDa factor produced mainly by activated CD4+ T cells. IL-2 induces cell cycle progression of resting cells in an antigen non-specific manner and allows clonal expansion of activated T cells. IL-2 also acts on activated B cells, monocytes, NK cells, LAK cells, and on oligodendroglial cells in vitro. In addition, IL-2 plays a role in hematopoiesis, tumor surveillance and anti-inflammatory reactions, and hence is a central regulator of the immune response. Non-glycosylated IL-2 is biologically active. Applications Reported: The Mouse IL-2 Lyophilized Standard is intended to be used as a standard for the Mouse IL-2 Ready-Set-Go! ELISA kit (Product # 88-7024). Typically the standard is run in a series of 7 doubling dilutions from the 'top' standard. Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis included with each ELISA set for instructions on the proper reconstitution and dilution of the lyophilized standard. Note: These are single-use vials. Use one time within 4 hours of reconstitution and discard. Reconstitute and dilute as suggested in the Certificate of Analysis or recovery may not be accurate. Applications Tested: The Mouse IL-2 Lyophilized Standard has been calibrated and tested in the Mouse IL-2 Ready-Set-Go! ELISA kit (Product # 88-7024-77). Source: E. coli expressed amino acids Ala21-Gln169 of mouse IL-2 accession # MMIL04.
