Purity > 95 % 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 5.0 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 2.0 × 105 IU/mg.

Physical Appearance Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Formulation Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4, 3 % trehalose.

Endotoxin Less than 1 EU/μg of rPoIL-1β 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 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.

Stability & Storage Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

- 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 °C as supplied.

- 1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.

- 3 months, -20 to -70 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.

Usage This material is offered by Shanghai PrimeGene Bio-Tech for research, laboratory or further evaluation purposes. NOT FOR HUMAN USE.

Background Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) is a non-secreted proinflammatory cytokine produced mainly by activated macrophages, as well as neutrophils, epithelial cells, and endothelial cells. It possesses metabolic, physiological, haematopoietic activities, and plays one of the central roles in the regulation of the immune responses. Both IL-1α and IL-1β binds to the same receptor and has similar but not identical biological properties. Recombinant porcine interleukin-1 beta is a 17 kDa protein containing 153 amino acid residues and it shares 63 % - 70 % a.a. sequence identity with canine, cotton rat, equine, feline, human, mouse, rat, and rhesus IL1β.
