Application Note:
This recombinant protein can be used for biological assays. For research use only.
Predicted Molecular Weight:
13.4 kD
Biological Activity:
Specific Activity is greater than 1.0 x 104 IU/mg as determined by the ability of Recombinant IL-16 to chemoattract human CD4+ T lymphocytes using a concentration range of 10.0-100.0 ng/ml
Purity:
Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Endotoxin level less than 0.1 ng/ug (1 IEU/ug) as determined by LAL test.
physical-state:
Lyophilized
Buffer:
Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered solution of 20mM PB, 150mM NaCl, pH 7.0. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 ug/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in ddH2O.
Storage Conditions:
Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks.
Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days.
Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at -20°C for 3 months.

Pro-Interleukin-16, Interleukin-16, IL-16, Lymphocyte Chemoattractant Factor, LCF, IL16
Protein Accession Number:
Q14005
Ncbi Gene Id Number:
3603
Background:
Interleukin-16 (IL-16) is a CD8+ T cell-derived cytokine that induces chemotaxis of CD4+ T cells and CD4+ monocytes and eosinophils. Analysis by gel filtration suggests that, under physiological conditions, human IL-16 exists predominantly as a noncovalently linked multimer, but that some IL-16 may exist as a monomer. However, only the multimeric form appears to possess chemotactic activity, suggesting that receptor cross-linking may be required for activity. IL-16 also induces expression of IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) and MHC class II molecules on CD4+ T cells. Human and murine IL-16 show significant cross-species reactivity.
