Specifications Synonyms IL-18BP;;; Source Human IL-18BP Protein is expressed from HEK293 with His tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Thr31-Gly194.[Accession | O95998-2] Molecular Weight The protein has a predicted MW of 18.7 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 40-60 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result. Endotoxin Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method. Purity > 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE Activity SPR Data: Human IL-18BP, His Tag captured on CM5 Chip via Anti-his antibody can bind Human IL-18, No Tag with an affinity constant of 0.41 nM as determined in SPR assay . Formulation Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization. Reconstitution Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Storage The product should be stored at -25~-15℃ for 1 year from the date of receipt. 2-7 days, 2 ~ 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution. 3 -6 months, -85~-65℃ under sterile conditions after reconstitution. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities when first used and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
