背景描述 |
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a 15.5 kDa four bundle, immuno-modulatory cytokine which is expressed predominately by antigen-simulated CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and dendritic cells (DC). IL-2 plays a fundamental role in promoting NK cell proliferation, cytotoxicity, and B cells differentiation. IL-2 modulate T cell differentiation programs, promoting naïve CD4+ T cell differentiation into T helper-1 (Th1) and T helper-2 (Th2) cells. |

>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis. |
生物活性 |
Measure by its ability to induce proliferation in CTLL-2 cells. The ED₅₀ for this effect is <3 ng/mL. The specific activity of recombinant human IL-2 is >5 x 10⁶ IU/mg, which is calibrated against the human IL-2 WHO International Standard (NIBSC code: 86/500). |
内毒素检测 |
<0.05 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method. |
