Interleukin-21 (IL-21) is a type I cytokine that modulates functions of T, B, natural killer (NK), and myeloid cells. IL-21 is produced by activated T follicular helper cells (Tfh), Th17 cells, and NKT cells. Tfh-derived IL-21 plays an important role in the development of humoral immunity through its autocrine effects on the Tfh cell and paracrine effects on immunoglobulin affinity maturation, plasma cell differentiation, and B cell memory responses.The 133 amino acid (aa) mature human IL-21 protein shares 63% and 61% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat IL-21 protein, respectively. Alternative splicing generates an additional isoform with a substitution of the C-terminal 16 amino acids. IL-21 shows having much relation with clinical illnesses, including cancer immunotherapy, viral infections and allergies. And it suppresses cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions by limiting allergen-specific IgE production and mast cell degranulation.

The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using human N1186 cells is less than 50 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity of > 2.0 × 104 IU/mg. Fully biologically active when compared to standard.

< 1.0 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20℃. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
