The predicted molecular mass of the recombinant canine IL-2 protein is approximately 18.1 kDa . The protein is highly pure, with a purity greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE . The endotoxin level is less than 1.0 EU per microgram of protein, as determined by the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) method .
Recombinant canine IL-2 has been shown to stimulate cell cytotoxicity in the CTLL-2 mouse cytotoxic T cell line . The effective dose (ED50) range for this activity is less than or equal to 0.3 ng/mL . This demonstrates the protein’s ability to promote immune cell activation and proliferation, which is consistent with the known functions of natural IL-2 .
Recombinant canine IL-2 is used in various research applications to study the immune response and to develop potential therapeutic strategies for diseases involving the immune system . It may also be of use as an anti-tumor agent in cancer therapy, given its role in promoting the activation and proliferation of immune cells .
The recombinant canine IL-2 protein is typically formulated in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at pH 7.4 and is provided without preservatives . For short-term storage, the protein should be kept at 4°C, while for long-term storage, it should be aliquoted and stored at -20°C to avoid freeze-thaw cycles .
