The activity is determined by the dose-dependent production of IL-6 from cultured mouse NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. The expected ED50 for this effect is 2.6-3.8 ng/mL.
Quality Control Testing:
1 ug/lane in 4-20% Tris-Glycine gel stained with Coomassie Blue
Lane 1: non-reducing conditions Lane 2: reducing conditions
Storage Buffer:
No additive
Storage Instruction:
Store at -20°C on dry atmosphere. After reconstitution with sterilized water, store at -20°C. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Note:
Result of activity analysis
Serial dilutions of human IL-17 AF(starting at 1 ug/mL) were added to NIH 3T3 cells. After 48 hours, production of mouse IL-6 was measured and the linear portion of the curve was us used to calculate the ED50.
The protein encoded by this gene is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated T cells. This cytokine regulates the activities of NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases. This cytokine 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 this cytokine are associated with several chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis. [provided by RefSeq
The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that shares sequence similarity with IL17. This cytokine is expressed by activated T cells, and has been shown to stimulate the production of several other cytokines, including IL6, IL8, and CSF2/GM_CSF. This cytokine is also found to inhibit the angiogenesis of endothelial cells and induce endothelial cells to produce IL2, TGFB1/TGFB, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. [provided by RefSeq
