Product Specific Information
Use: IL-5 exerts activity in the range of 0.1 to 10 ng/mL for most in vitro applications.
Reconstitution and Dilution: Reconstitute in distilled water to a concentration of 100 µg/mL. After reconstitution, dilute cytokine in a neutral buffer containing carrier protein such as 5-10% FBS or 1-4% high purity BSA (fatty acid free fraction V).
Lyophilized product is stable until expiration if stored desiccated below 0ºC. Cytokines diluted as indicated above should be divided into aliquots and stored at -70ºC. Recombinant proteins should be stored at concentrations >500 ng/mL to reduce loss of activity.
Target Information
IL-5 is a cytokine that acts as a growth and differentiation factor for both B cells and eosinophils. IL-5 cytokine is a main regulator of eosinopoiesis, eosinophil maturation and activation. The elevated production of this cytokine is reported to be related to asthma or hypereosinophilic syndromes. The receptor of IL-5 cytokine is a heterodimer, whose beta subunit is shared with the receptors for interleukine 3 (IL3) and colony stimulating factor 2 (CSF2/GM-CSF). IL-5, together with those for interleukin 4 (IL4), interleukin 13 (IL13), and CSF2, form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 5. IL-5, IL4, and IL13 are found to be regulated coordinately by long-range regulatory elements spread over 120 kilobases on chromosome 5q31.
