Product Specs

Introduction
When B lymphocytes are exposed to Epstein-Barr virus infection, they exhibit an increased expression of EBI3. The EBI3 gene encodes a secreted glycoprotein that is classified as a member of the hematopoietin receptor family. It forms a heterodimer with a 28 kDa protein, resulting in the creation of iIL-27. EBI3 plays a crucial role in the rapid clonal expansion of naive CD4+ T cells. Additionally, EBI3 exhibits a strong synergistic effect with IL-12, leading to the activation of IFN-gamma production in naive CD4+ T cells. EBI3 exerts its biological effects through the cytokine receptor WSX-1/TCCR.
Description
Recombinant Human EBI3, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. This chain comprises 209 amino acids (fragment 21-229) and has a molecular weight of 23.3 kDa. The purification of EBI3 is achieved using proprietary chromatographic methods.
Physical Appearance
White, sterile-filtered powder that has been lyophilized (freeze-dried).
Formulation
Recombinant Human EBI3 was lyophilized from a solution consisting of 10 mM Acetic Acid and 0.5% Mannitol.
Solubility
To reconstitute the lyophilized EBI3, it is recommended to dissolve it in sterile 10 mM Acetic acid at a concentration of at least 100 µg/ml. This solution can then be further diluted in other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Although lyophilized EBI3 remains stable at room temperature for a period of 3 weeks, it is advisable to store it in a desiccated state below -18°C. Once reconstituted, EBI3 should be kept at 4°C for 2-7 days. For long-term storage, it is recommended to store it below -18°C. It is important to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
The purity is determined to be greater than 90% using the following methods:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Biological Activity
The assay data for recombinant Human EBI3 is determined by its qualitative binding affinity to anti-EBI3 antibody.
Synonyms
Interleukin-27 subunit beta, IL-27 subunit beta, IL-27B, Epstein-Barr virus-induced gene 3 protein, EBV-induced gene 3 protein, EBI3, IL27B.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Function

EBI3 is a secreted glycoprotein and a member of the hematopoietin receptor family, related to the p40 subunit of interleukin-12 (IL-12) . It plays a crucial role in regulating cell-mediated immune responses . EBI3 is a subunit in two distinct heterodimeric cytokines: Interleukin-27 (IL-27) and Interleukin-35 (IL-35) .

  • IL-27: Composed of p28 (IL-27) and EBI3, IL-27 can trigger signaling in T cells, B cells, and myeloid cells .
  • IL-35: An inhibitory cytokine involved in regulatory T-cell function, composed of EBI3 and the p35 subunit of IL-12 .
Human Recombinant EBI3

Human recombinant EBI3 is produced through genetic engineering techniques . This recombinant form provides a valuable tool for studying its immunomodulatory properties and exploring its potential therapeutic applications .

Biological Processes

EBI3 is involved in several biological processes, including :

  • T-helper 1 type immune response
  • T cell proliferation
  • Humoral immune response
  • Positive regulation of alpha-beta T cell proliferation
  • Regulation of signaling receptor activity
  • Interleukin-27-mediated signaling pathway
  • Interleukin-35-mediated signaling pathway
Expression Patterns
