Purity: >97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
Biological Activity: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 determined by a cell proliferation
assay using murine B9-11 cells is less than 1 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of> 1.0 × 106 IU/mg.
Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
Endotoxin: Less than 1EU/μg of rHuIL-11 as determined by LAL method.
Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the
bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a
concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and
stored at <-20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
Storage: This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8°C, but should be kept at -20°C for long term storage,
preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8°C. For
maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20°C to
-70°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Usage: This material is offered by Shanghai Corning Bio-Tech for research, laboratory or further evaluation purposes. NOT FOR HUMAN USE.
Human Interleukin-11
Interleukin-11 (IL-11) is a pleiotropic cytokine that was originally detected in the conditioned medium of an IL-1α-stimulated
primate bone marrow stromal cell line (PU-34) as a mitogen for the IL-6-responsive murine plasmacytoma cell line T1165. IL-11
was also independently discovered as an adipogenesis inhibitory factor (AGIF). The human IL-11 cDNA encodes a 199 amino
acid residue precursor polypeptide with a 21 amino acid residue hydrophobic signal that is processed proteolytically to generate
the 178 amino acid residue mature protein. IL-11 contains no cysteine residues or potential glycosylation sites.IL-11 has multiple
effects on both hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic cells. Many of the biological effects described for IL-11 overlap those for
IL-6. In vitro, IL-11 can synergize with IL-3, IL-4 and SCF to shorten the G0 period of early hematopoietic progenitors. IL-11
also enhances the IL-3-dependent megakaryocyte colony formation. IL-11 has been found to stimulate the T cell dependent
