Product Specs

Introduction

Interleukin-17A, also known as IL17A, is a cytokine with a critical role in chronic and antimicrobial inflammation. Mice, rats, and humans share approximately 60% similarity in the amino acid sequence of IL17A. During bacterial infection, IL17A amplifies mucosal and epidermal inflammation, leading to increased chemokine production, neutrophil recruitment, and production of antibacterial proteins.

Description

Produced in Sf9 insect cells using a baculovirus expression system, IL17A Mouse is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 141 amino acids (26-158 a.a) with a molecular weight of 16kDa. An 8 amino acid His tag is fused to the C-terminus to facilitate purification, which is carried out using proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution, sterile-filtered.
Formulation

The IL17A solution is provided at a concentration of 0.5mg/ml in a buffer consisting of 10% glycerol and Phosphate-Buffered Saline (pH 7.4).

Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the IL17A solution can be stored at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to store the solution frozen at -20°C. The addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended for long-term storage to maintain protein stability.
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to prevent protein degradation.
Purity

Purity is determined by SDS-PAGE analysis and is consistently greater than 95%.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) is a cytokine that plays a crucial role in chronic and antimicrobial inflammation. It is part of the interleukin-17 family, which includes six members (IL-17A to IL-17F). IL-17A is primarily produced by activated CD4+ T cells, also known as T helper 17 (Th17) cells. This cytokine is involved in various inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, and transplant rejection .

Structure and Production

The mouse recombinant IL-17A produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 141 amino acids (26-158 a.a.) and has a molecular mass of approximately 16 kDa . The recombinant protein is fused to an 8 amino acid His tag at the C-terminus and purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques . The amino acid sequence of the mouse IL-17A is as follows:

Biological Function

IL-17A enhances mucosal and epidermal inflammation during bacterial infections by inducing the production of chemokines, which attract neutrophils to the site of infection . It also stimulates the production of antibacterial proteins. In human fibroblasts, IL-17A enhances the expression of intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and stimulates epithelial, endothelial, and fibroblastic cells to secrete other cytokines such as IL-6, IL-8, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) .

Applications

Recombinant IL-17A is used in various research applications, including:

  • Western Blot (WB): To detect IL-17A protein levels in different samples.
  • Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA): To quantify IL-17A concentrations in biological fluids.
  • Functional Assays: To study the biological activity of IL-17A, such as its ability to induce IL-6 production by NIH 3T3 cells .
Storage and Stability

The recombinant IL-17A protein is typically stored at -20°C for long-term storage. For short-term use, it can be stored at 4°C for 2-4 weeks. It is recommended to avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles to maintain protein stability .
