Product Specs

Introduction

Interleukin-5 (IL-5) is a cytokine crucial for the growth and specialization of B cells and eosinophils. It plays a vital role in the production, maturation, and activation of eosinophils, which are involved in immune responses. Elevated IL-5 levels are linked to conditions like asthma and hypereosinophilic syndromes. IL-5 signals through a heterodimeric receptor, sharing its beta subunit with the receptors for IL-3 and GM-CSF. Notably, the genes for IL-5, IL-4, IL-13, and CSF2 are clustered on chromosome 5 and are co-regulated by extensive regulatory elements spanning a large region of chromosome 5q31.

Description

Recombinant Mouse IL-5, produced in HEK293 cells, is a single-chain glycoprotein. It consists of 122 amino acids (specifically, amino acids 21 to 133), resulting in a molecular weight of 14.2 kDa. The IL-5 is engineered with a 6-amino acid His tag at the C-terminus to facilitate purification, which is carried out using specialized chromatographic methods.

Physical Appearance

A clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.

Formulation

The IL-5 is provided in a solution with a concentration of 0.25 mg/ml. The solution is buffered with phosphate-buffered saline at a pH of 7.4 and supplemented with 10% glycerol for stability.

Stability

For short-term storage (up to 4 weeks), the IL-5 should be kept at a refrigerated temperature of 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the IL-5 at -20°C. To further enhance stability during long-term storage, the addition of a carrier protein such as HSA or BSA (at a concentration of 0.1%) is advised. Repeated freezing and thawing of the IL-5 should be minimized to prevent degradation.

Purity

The purity of the IL-5 is determined using SDS-PAGE analysis and is guaranteed to be greater than 90%.

Biological Activity

The biological activity of the IL-5 is evaluated using a cell proliferation assay. This assay employs TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells, and the ED50 (the concentration at which 50% of the maximum response is observed) is typically less than or equal to 3 ng/ml.

Product Science Overview

Definition and Classification

Interleukin-5 is classified as a cytokine, a type of signaling molecule that modulates immune responses. It is also known by several other names, including B-cell growth factor II (BCGF-II), eosinophil differentiation factor (EDF), and T-cell replacing factor (TRF) .

Biological Properties

Recombinant mouse IL-5 produced in HEK293 cells is a glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 122 amino acids and has a molecular mass of approximately 14.2 kDa . It is biologically active and can elicit a response in vivo .

Functions

IL-5 is a key regulator of eosinopoiesis, the process of eosinophil production, maturation, and activation . It stimulates B cell growth and increases immunoglobulin secretion, primarily IgA . Elevated levels of IL-5 are associated with conditions such as asthma and hypereosinophilic syndromes .

Mode of Action

IL-5 exerts its effects by binding to the interleukin-5 receptor (IL-5R), a heterodimer composed of an alpha and a beta subunit . The beta subunit is shared with the receptors for interleukin-3 (IL-3) and colony-stimulating factor 2 (CSF2/GM-CSF) . This binding activates signaling pathways that lead to the proliferation and differentiation of target cells.

Regulatory Mechanisms

The expression of IL-5 is regulated by long-range regulatory elements spread over 120 kilobases on chromosome 5q31 . It is co-regulated with other cytokines such as IL-4 and IL-13, which are involved in the immune response .

Applications in Research

Recombinant mouse IL-5 is used in various research applications, including cell proliferation assays, functional studies, and structural analysis . It is essential for studying the mechanisms underlying immune responses and developing potential therapeutic interventions for related diseases.
