Buffer |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered solution of 20mM PB, 150mM NaCl, pH 7.0. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 ug/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in ddH2O. |
Storage Conditions |
Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20˚ C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7˚ C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at -20˚ C for 3 months. |

Background |
Interleukin-16 (IL-16) is a CD8+ T cell-derived cytokine that induces chemotaxis of CD4+ T cells and CD4+ monocytes and eosinophils. Analysis by gel filtration suggests that, under physiological conditions, human IL-16 exists predominantly as a noncovalently linked multimer, but that some IL-16 may exist as a monomer. However, only the multimeric form appears to possess chemotactic activity, suggesting that receptor cross-linking may be required for activity. IL-16 also induces expression of IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) and MHC class II molecules on CD4+ T cells. Human and murine IL-16 show significant cross-species reactivity. |
