Background
IL-17B is a member of the IL-17 family of structurally related proteins (1). Unlike other IL-17 family members, IL-17B is a non-covalently linked homodimer (1,2). IL-17B is expressed by chondrocytes and neurons, and binds to the IL-17RB receptor (1-4). Human IL-17B has been shown to induce TNF-α and IL-1β from monocytic THP-1 cells and may be involved in neutrophil recruitment in vivo (3). However, the exact biological functions of IL-17B remain elusive.
Endotoxin
Less than 0.01 ng endotoxin/1 μg mIL-17B.
Purity
>98% as determined by SDS-PAGE of 6 μg reduced (+) and non-reduced (-) recombinant mIL-17B. All lots are greater than 98% pure.
Source / Purification
Recombinant mouse IL-17B (mIL-17B) His21-Phe180 (Accession #NP_062381) was produced in E. coli at Cell Signaling Technology.
Bioactivity
The activity of mIL-17B was assessed by its ability to bind to IL-17RB in a functional ELISA. The concentration at which half-maximal binding was observed for each lot was 0.1-1.0 µg/ml.
