This lyophilized preparation is stable for 12 months from date of receipt at -20 to -70 degrees C, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation can be stored for 1 month at 2-8 degrees C under sterile conditions, and for 3 months at -20 degrees C to -70 degrees C. Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Stock solutions should be aliquoted and stored at < -20 degrees C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions

Purity

> 97 % pure by SDS-PAGE and HPLC

Endotoxin Level

Less than 0.1 EU/ug of IL-2 as determined by LAL method.

Predicted Molecular Mass

14.9 kDa.
Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Activity

Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using murine CTLL-2 cells is less than 1.0 ug/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1000 IU/mg.

Background: IL-2

IL-2 is a powerful immunoregulatory lymphokine produced by T-cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation. It is expressed by CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, gamma delta T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, and eosinophils. IL-2/IL-2R signaling is required for Tcell proliferation and other fundamental functions which are essential for the immune response. The receptor for IL-2 consists of three subunits (55 kDa IL2R alpha, 75 kDa IL2R beta, 64 kDa common gamma chain IL2R gamma) that are present on the cell surface in varying preformed complexes. Recombinant equine IL-2 is a 14.9 kDa protein containing 129 amino acid residues. At the amino acid sequence level, equine IL-2 shares 72 %, 70 %, 56 % and 54 % sequence similarities with human, porcine, rat and murine IL-2, respectively. It has been reported that equine IL-2 augmented proliferation in equine peripheral blood mononuclear cells, but has no effect on murine CTLL2 cells.
