Purity
>97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
Biological Activity
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using murine D10S cells is less than 0.05ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of >2.0×107IU/mg.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated solution in 20mM PB, 150mM NaCl, 1mM EDTA, pH7.4.
Endotoxin
Less than 1EU/μg of rHuIL-33 as determined by LAL method.
Reconstitution
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0mg/ml. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤-20℃. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
Background
IL-33, encoded by IL-33 gene located on the Chr.9 in humans, is a 30kDa proinflammatory protein belonging to the IL-1 superfamily and it shares less than 20%a.a. sequence identity with other members. IL-33 secreted by high endothelial venules at high levels, which is found in tonsils, peyer patches and mesenteric lymph nodes, but not in placenta. It is upregulated in arterial smooth muscle, dermal fibroblasts, and keratinocytes following IL1α or IL1β stimulation. It elicits its biological effects by interacting with IL1RL1/ST2 and its stimulation recruits MYD88, IRAK1, IRAK4, and TRAF6, followed by phosphorylation of MAPK3/ERK1 and/or MAPK1/ERK2, MAPK14, and MAPK8. IL-33 mature protein has 52-58%a.a. sequence identity with mouse and rat IL-33.
