IL-TIF, TIFa, IL-10-related T-cell-derived-inducible factor, IL-22, ILTIF, IL-D110, zcyto18, MGC79382, MGC79384, TIFIL-23.

IL-22 is a member of the IL-10 family of regulatory cytokines.Members of this family share partial homology in their amino acid sequences, but they are dissimilar in their biological functions. Produced by T lymphocytes, IL-22 inhibits IL-4 production by Th2 cells, and induces acute phase reactants in the liver and pancreas. IL-22 signals through a receptor system consisting of IL-10R-beta/CRF2-4 and IL-22R, both of which are members of the class II cytokine-receptor family.

Interleukin-22 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated homodimeric polypeptide chain containing 2 x 146 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of 33,607 Dalton.
The IL-22 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Escherichia Coli.

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Each mg contains 50mM Phosphate buffer pH=7.1.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interleukin -22 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Lyophilized Interleukin-22 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IL22 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Greater than 97.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Ala-Pro-Ile-Ser.

The Biological Activity was determined by the ability to activiate STAT following receptor ligand interaction.
