Introduction |
IL17 is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated T cells. IL-17 regulates the activities of NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases. Interleukin-17 can stimulate the expression of IL6 and cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX-2), as well as enhance the production of nitric oxide (NO). High levels of IL-17 are associated with several chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis. |
Description |
Interleukin-17 Murine Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a homodimeric, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing a total of 268 (2x134 a.a.) amino acids and having a molecular mass of 30 kDa. The IL-17 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |

Biological Activity |
The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependant induction of IL-6 production in cultured mouse NIH 3T3 fibroblasts was found to be 0.4 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 2, 500, 000 units/mg. |
Storage |
Lyophilized Interleukin-17 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18C. Upon reconstitution IL17 should be stored at 4C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
