Interleukin 3 is a pleiotropic factor produced primarily by activated T cells that can stimulate the proliferation. At the amino acid sequence level, mature human and mouse IL-3 share only 29% sequence identity. Consistent with this lack of homology, IL-3 activity is highly species-specific and human IL-3 does not show activity on murine cells. Cytokines are actively involved in the host-defense system to coordinate the functional activity and the generation of effector cells. Some of these molecules function as inflammatory mediators and hematopoietic growth factors at the same time such as IL-3. IL-3 is known as a pleiotropic cytokine with a broad spectrum of target cells and functions. IL-3 regulates the proliferation and differentiation of normal hematopoietic progenitor cells in the early stages of hematopoiesis. And IL-3 inhibits apoptosis and promotes the autonomous growth of blast cells.

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

> 98% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.

The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of murine M-NFS-60 cells is less than 0.05 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity of > 2 × 107 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.
