Product Specs

Introduction
Interleukin-3 (IL-3) is a cytokine primarily produced by activated T cells that plays a crucial role in hematopoiesis. It acts through specific cell surface receptors, stimulating the proliferation, differentiation, and survival of various hematopoietic cell lines. Additionally, IL-3 influences the functional activity of mast cells, eosinophils, megakaryocytes, and basophils.
Description
Recombinant mouse Interleukin-3, expressed in E. coli, is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain comprising 135 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 15.1 kDa. It is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Sterile, white, lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 1 mg/mL solution in water without any additives.
Solubility
Reconstitute the lyophilized Interleukin-3 in sterile 18 MΩ-cm H2O to a concentration of at least 100 µg/mL. This solution can be further diluted in other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized Interleukin-3 remains stable at room temperature for up to 3 weeks; however, it is recommended to store it desiccated below -18°C. After reconstitution, store IL-3 at 4°C for 2-7 days. For long-term storage, freeze at -18°C after adding a carrier protein like 0.1% HSA or BSA. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Purity exceeds 97.0% as determined by: (a) Size-exclusion high-performance liquid chromatography (SEC-HPLC) and (b) Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).
Biological Activity
The half-maximal effective concentration (ED50), determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of murine M-NFS-60 cells, is less than 0.05 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity of 20,000,000 IU/mg.
Protein Content
Protein quantification was conducted using two independent methods: (1) UV spectroscopy at 280 nm with an absorbance value of 0.154 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1 mg/mL) solution, calculated using the PC GENE computer analysis program (IntelliGenetics); and (2) Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), using a standard solution of IL-3 as a reference standard.
Synonyms
MCGF (Mast cell growth factor), Multi-CSF, HCGF, P-cell stimulation factor, IL-3, MGC79398, MGC79399.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Amino Acid Sequence
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Asp-Thr-His-Arg.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Receptor Interaction

IL-3 exerts its biological effects through interaction with a specific cell surface receptor complex. The mouse IL-3 receptor consists of a unique alpha-subunit (CD123) and two beta subunits: one specific for IL-3 (βIL-3) and the other shared with the receptors for IL-5 and GM-CSF (beta common chain, βc or CD131) . Binding of IL-3 to its receptor activates several intracellular signaling pathways, including JAK/STAT, MAPK, and PI3K .

Biological Functions

IL-3 is involved in various physiological processes, including:

  • Hematopoiesis: IL-3 promotes the survival and proliferation of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells and lineage-committed progenitor cells .
  • Inflammation and Allergies: IL-3 plays a role in inflammation and allergic responses by promoting the secretion of inflammatory mediators such as histamine, IL-4, and IL-6 by mast cells, basophils, and eosinophils .
  • Cell Differentiation: IL-3 supports the differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells into various mature blood cell lineages .
Recombinant IL-3 Production

Recombinant mouse IL-3 is typically produced in E. coli and is supplied in a lyophilized form . It is used in various research applications, including cell culture media additives to support the growth and differentiation of hematopoietic cells .

Applications in Research

Recombinant IL-3 is widely used in research to study hematopoiesis, immune responses, and cell signaling pathways. It is also utilized in assays to promote the proliferation of specific cell lines, such as Ba/F3 and M-NFS-60 cells .
