| Summary |
Human IL-21 is encoded by IL-21 gene located on Chr. 4. It is a pleiotropic cytokine produced by CD4+ T cells in response to antigenic stimulation and can regulating immune system cells, for instance cytotoxin T cells and natural killer cells. Additionally, it can induce target cells division or proliferation. IL-21 elicits its effect through binding to IL-21R, which also contains the gamma chain found in other cytokine receptors such as IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9 and IL-15. IL-21/IL-21R interaction triggers a cascade of events which includes activation of the tyrosine kinases JAK1 and JAK3, followed by activation of the transcription factors STAT1 and STAT3. IL-21 shows having much relation with clinical illnesses, including cancer immunotherapy, viral infections and allergies. |

Approximately 15.4 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 133 amino acids. |
| Biological Activity |
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using human N1186 T cells is less than 20 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 5.0 × 104 U/mg. |
| Appearance |
Sterile filtered white lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4. |
| Endotoxin |
Less than 0.01 EU/ug of rHuIL-21 GMP as determined by LAL method. |
| Reconstitution |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-0.5 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
| Stability and Storage |
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.A minimum of 12 months when stored at ≤ -20 °C as supplied. Refer to lot specific COA for the Use by Date.1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.3 months, -20 to -70 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution. |
