Introduction Human interleukin family 1, member 6 (hIL-1F6 / FIL1-epsilon) belongs to the interleukin 1 cytokine family. IL1F6 is expressed in the immune system and the fetal brain, but not in other tissues tested or in multiple hematopoietic cell lines. IL1F6 is the only IL-1 family member found to be expressed on T-cells. IL1F6 functions via receptor complex of IL-1Rrp2 and IL-1RAcP. The recombinant IL1F6, along with IL1F8 and IL1F9, acts as an agonist by activating the pathway involving NF?B and MAPK in an IL-1Rrp2 dependent manner.
Recombinant Human Interleukin 1 Family, Member 6Description IL1F6 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, Polypeptide chain containing 158 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 17.7kDa.
The IL1F6 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Source Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation IL1F6 was lyophilized after extensive dialysis against 20mM Phosphate buffer, pH7.4.
Solubility It is recommended to quick spin followed by reconstitution of IL1F6 in PBS to a concentration no less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Recombinant Human Interleukin 1 Family, Member 6Stability Lyophilized IL1F6 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IL1F6 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity Greater than 95.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Amino acid sequence The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Glu-Lys-Ala-Leu.
Biological Activity As measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA, immobilized IL1F6 at 1 µg/ml (100 µl/well) can bind rHuIL-1 Rrp2/Fc Chimera with a linear range of 0.15- 5 µg/ml.
