{"product_id":"cst-44039s","title":"CST,  44039S, Mouse IL-15 Recombinant Protein","description":"Growth Factors and Cytokines for studying IL15 mouse in the research area.\n\n\u003cb\u003eStorage\u003c\/b\u003e\nMouse IL-15 Recombinant Protein is supplied as lyophilized material that is very stable at -20ÂºC. It is recommended to reconstitute with sterile water at a concentration of 0.1 mg\/mL which can be further diluted in aqueous solutions as needed. Addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended for long-term storage. Once in solution, store at 4ÂºC and use within 1 month, or store at -20ÂºC to -80ÂºC and use within 3 months to prevent loss of potency. Aliquot to avoid multiple freeze\/thaw cycles if storing reconstituted material at -20ÂºC to -80ÂºC.\n\u003cb\u003eSource \/ Purification\u003c\/b\u003e\nRecombinant mouse IL-15 was expressed in and is supplied in a lyophilized form.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nInterleukin-15 (IL-15) is a pleiotropic cytokine best known for inducing T cell proliferation and NK cell proliferation and activation (1,2). This glycoprotein is a member of the 4 Î±-helix-bundle family of cytokines and is required for the differentiation of effector CD8 and memory phenotype CD8 T cells (3,4). The effects of IL-15 are mediated through the heterotrimeric receptor consisting of the IL-15 receptor alpha (IL-15RÎ±), the Î²-chain, and the common Î³-chain (2). The Î²-chain and common Î³-chain are shared with the IL-2 receptor (3). Binding of IL-15 initiates signaling cascades that involve Jak1, Jak3, Stat3, and Stat5, leading to activation of the PI3K\/Akt and Ras\/Raf\/MAPK signaling pathways (5). The effect that IL-15 has on innate and specific immunity makes it an important target for cancer immunotherapy and viral clearance (3,6).","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46800713810089,"sku":"44039S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-44039s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
