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-22 is a 6-α-helix, bundle cytokine that is a member of the IL-10 family of cytokines. It is primarily produced by innate lymphoid cells (ILCS) and multiple T cell subsets including αβT, γδT, and NKT cells. Its production is regulated upstream by several different cytokines including IL-23, IL-1β, and IL-7. IL-22 binds with the IL-22 receptor, expressed on stromal and epithelial cells in a wide range of tissues, but it can also bind in circulation with the IL-22 binding protein (IL-22BP), which functions as a negative regulator. Binding with the receptor triggers several downstream pathways resulting in pro-inflammatory responses, increased mucus production, as well as increased production of anti-bacterial and anti-fungal proteins. IL-22 also plays a role in promoting wound healing and tissue regeneration in response to injury. Overexpression of IL-22 has been linked to several cancers, most notably colon cancer (PMID: 25706098, 33042126).
