IL-15RA & IL-15 Protein, Human, Recombinant (hFc)

Catalog No. TMPJ-01461
Synonyms: IL-15 Receptor α & IL-15 Fusion Protein, Interleukin-15, IL15RA&IL15 Complex, IL-15 Receptor alpha & IL-15 Fusion Protein, IL-15, IL15, IL15RA&IL15

IL15RA is a high-affinity receptor for interleukin-15. Il15ra associates as a heterotrimer with the IL-2 receptor beta and gamma subunits to initiate signal transduction. It can signal both in cis and trans where IL15R from one subset of cells presents IL15 to neighboring IL2RG-expressing cells. Il15ra is expressed in special cells including a wide variety of Tand B cells and non-lymphoid cells.IL-15 is a cytokine that regulates T cell and natural killer cell activation and proliferation. IL-15 binds to the alpha subunit of the IL-15RA with high affinity. IL-15 also binds to the beta and gamma chains of the IL-2 receptor, but not the alpha subunit of the IL2 receptor. IL-15 is structurally and functionally related to IL-2. Both cytokines share some subunits of receptors, allowing them to compete for and negatively regulate each other's activity. The number of CD8+ memory T cells is controlled by a balance between IL-15 and IL-2. Despite their many overlapping functional properties, IL-2 and IL-15 are, in fact, quite distinct players in the immune system. IL-15 is constitutively expressed by a wide variety of cell types and tissues, including monocytes, macrophages and DCs.

Construction Recombinant Human Interleukin-15 Receptor Alpha & Interleukin-15 Fusion Protein is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ile31-Asp96&Asn49-Ser162(Asn120Asp) is expressed with a human IgG1 Fc tag at the C-terminus.
Protein Purity Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE. (QC verified)

Endotoxin Less than 0.1 ng/µg (1 EU/µg) as determined by LAL test.
Formulation Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20mM PB, 8% Trehalose, 4% Mannitol, 0.02% Tween80 (w/v), pH 7.5.
Reconstitution Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. 
Stability & Storage

Lyophilized protein should be stored at ≤ -20°C, stable for one year after receipt. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 2-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at ≤ -20°C for 3 months.

Shipping

The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature listed below.
