Background: IL-21

Rat IL-21 is produced by CD4+ T cells in response to antigenic stimulation and can regulating immune system cells, for instance cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells. The biological effects of IL-21 include induction of differentiation of T-cells-stimulated B-cells into plasma cells and memory B-cells, stimulation with IL-4 of IgG production, and induction of apoptotic effects in naive B-cells and stimulated B-cells in the absence of T-cell signaling. Additionally, it promotes the anti-tumor activity of CD8+ T-cells and NK cells. IL-21 elicits its effect through binding to IL-21R, which also contains the gamma chain found in other cytokine receptors such as IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9 and IL-15. IL-21 shows having much relation with clinical illnesses, including cancer immunotherapy, viral infections and allergies. Mature rat IL-21 shares 88 % a.a. sequence identity with mouse IL-21.

Product Specific Notices for Recombinant Rat IL-21 Protein

This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 degrees C, but should be kept at -20 degrees C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is most stable at -20 to -80 degrees C, and can be stored for one week at 2-8 degrees C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 degrees C to -80 degrees C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. This product is guaranteed for 1 year from date of receipt.
