Recombinant Human IL-2 (Animal-Free)
Induced proliferation of CTLL-2 cells assay for Human IL-2. Cell proliferation was measured to calculate the ED50, which is as expected less than 3 ng/ml.
Non-reducing (-) and reducing (+) conditions in a 4 - 20% Tris-Glycine gel stained with Coomassie Blue. 1 μg of protein was loaded in each lane. Human IL-2 has a predicted Mw of 15.5 kDa.

This product is produced with no animal derived raw products. All processing and handling employs animal free equipment and animal free protocols.Description
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is an immunomodulatory cytokine that is produced by lymphocytes. IL-2 signals through the IL-2R receptor to induce activated T cell proliferation and promote T cell differentiation. IL-2 also stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of B cells, Natural Killer cells, monocytes, and macrophages.Activity Assay
Human IL-2 (Animal-Free) is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The activity is determined by the ability to induce CTLL-2 cells proliferation and it is typically less than 3 ng/ml. This corresponds to an expected specific activity of 3.3 x 105 units/mg.AA Sequence
