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. |
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).
