Catalogue number
CYT-372
Synonyms
Lymphopoietin 1 (LP-1), pre-B cell factor, IL-7.
Introduction
Interleukin-7 is a potent lymphoid cell growth factor produced primarily by stromal cells. IL-7 has been shown to support the proliferation and differentiation of pre B- and early T cells as well as displaying a biological effect on cells of NK and myeloid lineages.
Description
Interleukin-7 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 129 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 14.9kDa.
Source
Escherichia Coli.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Filtered (0.2μm) and lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in 1×PBS, pH7.4 and 2% trehalose.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interleukin 7 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized Interleukin-7 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IL7 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 96.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Biological Activity
The ED50was determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of murine 2E8 cells is less than 0.2 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of >5.0×106 IU/mg.
