Stability and Reconstitution

Stability and Storage Lyophilized proteins are stable for 1 year from the date of receipt if stored between (-20°C) and (-80°C). Upon reconstitution we recommend that the solution can be stored at (4°C) for short term or at (-20°C) to (-80°C) for long term. Repeated freeze thaw cycles should be avoided with reconstituted products.
Reconstitution Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the protein to 0.2 mg/mL in sterile 1x PBS pH 7.4 containing 0.1% endotoxin-free recombinant human serum albumin (HSA). Gently swirl or tap vial to mix.

Our GMP recombinant proteins are animal component free (ACF), xeno free (XF) and tag free (TF). Read more about these policies here.

Background

IL-21 is a type I, 4-α-helix bundle cytokine primarily produced by CD4+ T cells and NK cells. It is a strong activator of proliferation and antibody production in B cells but does signal to numerous other immune cells as well. Elevated IL-21 signaling can promote several autoimmune diseases including type I diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, it has also been shown to have potent antitumoral activity, making it a promising candidate for immunotherapy and as an adjuvant material in CAR-T cell therapy (PMID: 22235123, 26966515, 27577879).
