Catalog No. ABIN1305115

Product Details

Target: IL-3 (Interleukin 3 (IL-3))

Protein Type: Recombinant

Biological Activity: Active

Origin: Human

Source: Escherichia coli (E. coli)

Application: ELISA, Functional Studies (Func), Intracellular Flow Cytometry (ICFC), Blocking Reagent (BR)

Brand: BD Pharmingen™

Specificity: Biological Activity: The activity range is measured in a proliferation assay using TF-1 cells.
Specific Activity: 0.3 - 1.4 x 10^8 Units/mg (Unit is defined as the amount of material required to stimulate a half-maximal response at cytokine saturation.)
ED50: 70-300 pg/ml
Observed dose response: > 200 fold

Characteristics: Recombinant human IL-3 is supplied as a frozen aqueous buffered solution containing glycerol, 2.0 mg/ml Biotechnology grade, low endotoxin bovine serum albumin, and with no preservatives. Recombinant human IL-3 is > 95% pure as determined by SDS-PAGE, and an absorbance assay based on the Beers-Lambert law.

Purification: Recombinant human IL-3 is supplied as a frozen liquid comprised of 0.22 μm sterile-filtered aqueous buffered solution containing glycerol and bovine serum albumin, with no preservatives. Recombinant human IL-3 is ≥ 95 % pure as determined by SDS-PAGE, and an absorbance assay based on the Beers-Lambert law.

Purity: ≥ 95 %

Sterility: 0.22 μm filtered

Endotoxin Level: The endotoxin level is ≤ 0.1 ng per µg of human IL-3, as measured in a chromogenic LAL assay.

Application Details

Application Notes: ELISA Standard: Recombinant human IL-3 is useful as a quantitative standard for measuring human IL-3 protein levels in an IL-3 specific sandwich ELISA with the purified BVD8-3G11 antibody (Cat. No. 554672) as a capture antibody and the biotinylated BVD3-1F9 (Cat. No. 554674) as the detection antibody. To obtain linear standard curves, doubling dilutions of this human IL-3 standard from 2000 to 15 pg/ml should be included in each ELISA plate.
Ligand Blocking Control for Immunofluorescent Staining of Cytokines: Recombinant human IL-3 can be used as a blocking control to demonstrate specificity of IL-3 staining by the directly conjugated-BVD3 1F9 antibody (Cat. No. 554676). The intracellular cytokine staining technique and use of blocking controls are described in detail by C. Prussin and D. Metcalfe. For specific methodology, please visit the protocols section or chapter on intracellular staining in the Immune Function Handbook both of which are posted on our web site.
