    Stability Testing for GMP Recombinant Human IL-15. GMP recombinant human IL-15 was aliquoted in PBS at 0.2 mg/mL. One aliquot was frozen and thawed four times (4x Freeze/Thaw), and compared to a control kept at 4°C (control). The samples were tested in a proliferation assay with MO7e human megakaryocytic leukemic cells.

Description

IL-15 was discovered in the supernatant from a simian kidney epithelial cell line CV-1/EBNA, as a soluble factor capable of supporting proliferation of the IL-2-dependent cell line, CTLL-2. Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a regulatory cytokine, and it is produced by dendritic cells, epithelial cells, human stromal cell line (IMTLH), fibroblasts, and monocytes. IL-15 plays an important role in immune response and shares many similar functions as IL-2, for example, stimulating the proliferation of activated T cells, NK cells and B cells, and inducing immunoglobulin synthesis by B cells stimulated by anti-IgM or CD40 ligand. In addition, IL-15 promotes the development of dendritic cells, activates human neutrophils, and induces the production of proinflammatory cytokines from macrophages. IL-15 acts as a bridge between innate and adaptive immunity because of its diverse roles in the immune system. IL-15 binds to heterotrimeric receptors composed of IL-15Rα, IL-15Rβ, and IL-15Rγc. IL-15 shares with IL-2 the receptor chains β and γc. IL-15 is normally not secreted in soluble form but is held on the cell surface bound to a unique receptor, IL-15Rα, especially on dendritic cells. Cell-bound IL-15 then is presented in trans to T cells and NK cells and is recognized by the γc receptor on these cells; such recognition maintains cell survival and intermittent proliferation.

Product Details

Source
Human IL-15, amino acid Asn49-Ser162 (Accession # P40933), was expressed in E.coli.
Molecular Mass
The 114 amino acid recombinant protein has a predicted molecular mass of approximately 12.8 kD. The DTT-reduced and non-reduced protein migrates at approximately 11 kD and 7 kD by SDS-PAGE, respectively. The predicted N-terminal amino acid is Asn.
Purity
>95%, as determined by Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE
Formulation
0.1 µm filtered protein solution is in PBS.
Endotoxin Level
Less than 0.1 EU per µg protein as determined by the LAL method
Concentration
500 µg/mL
Storage & Handling
Unopened vial can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to 2 weeks, at -20°C for up to six months, or at -70°C or colder until the expiration date. For maximum results, quick spin vial prior to opening. The protein can be aliquoted and stored at -20°C or colder. Stock solutions can also be prepared at 50 - 100 µg/mL in appropriate sterile buffer, carrier protein such as 0.2 - 1% endotoxin-free BSA or HSA can be added when preparing the stock solution. Aliquots can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to one week or stored at -20°C or colder for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Activity
ED50 = 2.0 - 10 ng/mL as measured by its ability to induce proliferation of MO7e human megakaryocytic leukemic cells. Deep Blue Cell Viability™ Kit (Cat. No. 424701) is used to measure the proliferation.
