IL-15R alpha & IL-15 蛋白, Human (HEK293, His)

IL-15R alpha is a high affinity receptor for IL-15 (K_d: 100 pM). IL-15 is essential for the development and function natural killer (NK) cell, NKT cell and memory (m) CD8+ T cell^[1]. IL-15R alpha maintains memory CD8+ T cell homeostasis and lymphocyte development. IL-15R alpha/IL-15 complex can activate the antitumor functions of NK cells and CD8+ T cells^[2][3]. IL-15R alpha & IL-15 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is a recombinant human IL-15R alpha (I31-S108) & IL-15 (N49-S162) fusion protein with a C-Terminal His tag, which is produced in HEK293 cells.

IL-15R α 在多种细胞类型上表达，包括淋巴细胞、骨髓细胞、非淋巴细胞和非造血细胞^[4]。IL-15 在巨噬细胞和树突状细胞中产生^[1]。
IL-15 从内质网转运至细胞表面与 β 结合需要 IL-15R α（响应淋巴细胞上的 CD122) 和 γ (CD132) 链^[4][5]。当与 IL-15 结合时，该复合物可延长 IL-15 的体内半衰期，并增强 NK 细胞和 CD8+ T 细胞中 IL-15 与 IL-15Rβ/γ 的结合亲和力。因此，信号传递可提高 NK 细胞和 CD8+ T 细胞的增殖和抗肿瘤活性^[2]。
IL-15R α与IL-15形成复合物，激活NK细胞和CD8+ T细胞的抗肿瘤功能。IL-15R α/IL-15 复合物是一种潜在的癌症和病毒感染免疫治疗剂^[1]。

IL-15R alpha (mouse, pre-complexed with hIL-15, i.p., 15 μg, 200 μL) significantly reduces the tumor volume, and induces an early increase of activated NK cells in B16-F10 melanoma mice^[6].
IL-15R alpha & IL-15 Fusion Protein (mouse, i.p., 15 μg & 2.5 μg, 200 μL) causes naive CD8 T cell activation and development into effector cells and long-term memory T cells^[7].

Immobilized Human IL-15RA&IL-15, His Tag at 1 μg/mL (100μL/Well) on the plate. Dose response curve for Human IL-2 R beta&IL-2 R gamma, hFc Tag with the EC₅₀ of 0.019-0.11 μg/ml determined by ELISA.

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4. Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O.

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
