High quality, high purity and low endotoxin recombinant Recombinant Human IL-18BP Protein (RPCB0240), tested reactivity in HEK293 cells and has been validated in SDS-PAGE.100% guaranteed.
Endotoxin:
< 0.1 EU/μg of the protein by LAL method.
Purity:
≥ 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Formulation:
Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.Contact us for customized product form or formulation.
Bio-Activity:
Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Human IL18BP at 2 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind IL18 with a linear range of 0.128-47.02 ng/mL.
Reconstitution:
Centrifuge the vial before opening. Reconstitute to a concentration of 0.1-0.5 mg/mL in sterile distilled water. Avoid vortex or vigorously pipetting the protein. For long term storage, it is recommended to add a carrier protein or stablizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose), and aliquot the reconstituted protein solution to minimize free-thaw cycles.
Storage:
Store at -20℃.Store the lyophilized protein at -20℃ to -80 ℃ up to 1 year from the date of receipt. After reconstitution, the protein solution is stable at -20℃ for 3 months, at 2-8℃ for up to 1 week.
Interleukin-18-binding protein (IL-18BP) is a constitutively expressed and secreted protein. IL-18BP is a cytokine receptor that belongs to the interleukin 1 receptor family. This receptor specifically binds interleukin 18 (IL18), prevents the binding of IL18 to its receptor, and thus inhibits IL18-induced IFN-gamma production, resulting in reduced T-helper type 1 immune responses. This protein is constitutively expressed and secreted in mononuclear cells. Elevated level of this protein is detected in the intestinal tissues of patients with Crohn's disease.
Recombinant Human IL-18BP Protein was determined by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions with Coomassie Blue.
Immobilized Human IL18BP at 2μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind IL18 with a linear range of 0.128-47.02ng/mL.
