Cat. No.	Z200135
Name	Recombinant Mouse IL2 (E. coli)
Description	IL-2 is produced mainly by T cells expressing the surface antigen CD4 following cell activation by mitogens or allogen. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) has multiple, sometimes opposing, functions during an inflammatory response. It is a potent inducer of T cell proliferation and Th1 and Th2 effector T cell differentiation and provides T cells with a long-lasting competitive advantage resulting in the optimal survival and function of memory cells. In a regulatory role, IL-2 is important for the development, survival, and function of regulatory T cells, it enhances Fas-mediated activation-induced cell death, and it inhibits the development of inflammatory Th17 cells. Thus, in its dual and contrasting functions, IL-2 contributes to both the induction and the termination of inflammatory immune responses.

How do I choose the right growth factor for my experiment?

Cell type: Different cells respond to different growth factors. Choose a growth factor that promotes the growth or differentiation of your target cell type.
Desired outcome: Whether you are studying proliferation, differentiation, or survival, different growth factors will promote different cellular behaviors.
Concentration and formulation: Different experiments may require varying concentrations of growth factors.

	What is the shelf life and storage condition of this product?
	The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
