Induced proliferation of TF-1 cells for Mouse IL-5. Cell proliferation was measured to calculate the ED50, which is as expected less than 2 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. Mouse IL-5 has a predicted Mw of 26.3 kDa (each monomer is 13.1 kDa).

Description

Interleukin-5 (IL-5) is a hematopoietic growth factor that is expressed in type 2 T helper (Th2) cells, mast cells, and eosinophils. IL-5 acts through the IL-5 receptor (IL-5R), stimulates B cell growth, and mediates eosinophil activation. Human and mouse IL-5 show cross-reactivity.

Activity Assay

Mouse IL-5 (Animal-Free) is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The activity is determined by the ability to induce TF-1 cells proliferation and it is typically less than 2 ng/ml. This corresponds to an expected specific activity of 5 x 105 units/mg.
