IL-15 Protein (AA 49-162) (His tag)

Catalog No. ABIN7278701

Product Details

Target: IL-15 (IL15) (Interleukin 15 (IL15))

Protein Type: Recombinant

Protein Characteristics: AA 49-162

Origin: Human

Source: Escherichia coli (E. coli)

Purification tag / Conjugate: This IL-15 protein is labelled with His tag.

Purpose: IL-15 (human) (rec.) (His)

Specificity: The extracellular domain of human IL-15 (aa 49-162) is fused to a His-tag.

Characteristics: Protein. The extracellular domain of human IL-15 (aa 49-162) is fused to a His-tag. Source: E. coli. Endotoxin content: <0.1EU/μg protein (LAL test, Lonza). Lyophilized from 0.2μm-filtered solution in PBS. Purity: >95 % (SDS-PAGE). Interleukin-15 (IL-15) has a broad spectrum of biological activities. It is crucial for the development, proliferation, survival and differentiation of multiple cells from both innate and adaptive immune systems. IL-15 up-regulation has a central role in the development of several autoimmune or chronic inflammatory disorders. Targeting IL-15 or its receptor may have a valuable impact on the treatment of immune-mediated diseases. IL-15 participates in the development of important immune antitumor mechanisms. It activates CD8(+) T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, NK T cells, and can promote the formation of antitumor antibodies. IL-15 can also protect T effector cells from the action of T regulatory cells and reverse tolerance to tumor-associated antigens. In pre-clinical studies IL-15 has been found to demonstrate potentiated antitumor effects following pre-association with IL-15Ralpha, or when used in combination with chemotherapy, adoptive therapy, monoclonal antibodies, and tumor vaccines.

Purity: >95 % (SDS-PAGE)

Endotoxin Level: <0.1EU/μg protein (LAL test, Lonza).

Biological Activity Comment: Measured by its ability to stimulate the proliferation of mouse CTLL-2 cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.5ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity of 2x 106 units/mg
