Interleukin 15 (IL-15) is a four-alpha helix bundle cytokine with many similar properties to IL-2, with which it shares components of its receptor. The IL-15 receptor is a heterotrimeric receptor composed of IL-15Ra, the high-affinity receptor for IL-15, as well as IL-2/15Rb (CD122) and common gamma chain (CD132). IL-15 binds to IL-15Rα receptor and can then be presented in trans to IL-2/15Rb and common gamma chain on other cells. Trans-presentation is thought to be the major mechanism by which IL-15-mediated responses occur in mice, although may not be necessary in humans (Castillo et al.). The cytoplasmic domains of IL-2/15Rb and common gamma chain mediate signaling to activate JAK/STAT and PI3K pathways. IL-15 supports the survival and proliferation of naive CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, and promotes homeostasis of memory T cells. IL-15 also promotes the survival and differentiation of NK cells and regulates their cytolytic activity (Ma et al.).

Interleukin 4 (IL-4) is a type I cytokine produced by Th2 T cells, NK T cells, γ/δ T cells, eosinophils, mast cells, and activated basophils. IL-4 receptors are present on a number of cells, including hematopoietic, endothelial, epithelial, muscle, and brain tissues. IL-4 receptor engagement initiates signaling through the JAK/STAT pathway, and leads to the activation of PI3K and Ras/MAPK pathways (Nelms et al.). IL-4 plays a key role in immunoglobulin class switching in B cells and in regulating the differentiation of naïve T cells into T helper 2 (Th2) cells, while inhibiting Th1 differentiation. IL-4 acts together with tumor necrosis factor to stimulate expression of adhesion molecules on vascular endothelial cells and to downregulate expression of E-selectin, thus recruiting T cells and eosinophils to the site of inflammation (Nelms et al.).

Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) is synthesised as an inactive precursor protein or pro-IL-1β. This precursor is cleaved intracellularly by caspase 1 (IL-1β convertase) to form the active form of the protein that is later secreted (Allan et al.). IL-1β binds to IL-1 receptor and activates intracellular signaling via the MAPK or NF-kB pathway. IL-1β is released by monocytes, tissue macrophages, and dendritic cells in response to infection or injury and induces expression of acute-phase proteins. It also promotes the infiltration of inflammatory and immunocompetent cells from the circulation into the extravascular space and affected tissues, by stimulating the expression of adhesion molecules on endothelial cells. IL-1β also affects other immune cells; for example, it co-stimulates T cell functions together with antigen or mitogen. It also stimulates Th17 differentiation and B cell proliferation in an IL-6-dependent manner. Mice deficient in IL-1β do not show phenotypical differences from wild-type mice; however, they have a reduced response to inflammation, suggesting that IL-1β plays a key role in inflammatory diseases (Dinarello).

Growth differentiation factor 11 (GDF-11) is a member of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) family. It binds to the TGF-β receptors ALK4, ALK5, and ALK7 and activates the SMAD signaling pathway (Ho et al.). GDF-11 regulates the development of the olfactory system, retina, and pancreas, as well as anterior/posterior patterning of the axial skeleton (Lee and Lee). GDF-11 is an endocrine factor expressed in skeletal muscle, brain, and dental pulp (Kondás et al.). Studies in mice showed that GDF-11 regulates muscle and cardiac aging, and stimulates neurogenesis by remodeling blood vessels (Katsimpardi et al.; Loffredo et al.; Sinha et al.).

Macrophage inflammatory protein-4 (MIP-4) plays a role in adaptive and innate immune responses, acting as a chemoattractant for T and B lymphocytes, and natural killer cells (Krohn et al.). MIP-4 can also induce immune tolerance through its effects on dendritic cells and macrophages (Azzaoui et al., Schraufstatter et al.). In breast cancer, MIP-4 has been shown to promote the invasiveness and metastasis of cancer cells in vivo by binding PITPNM3 (Chen et al.).This small cytokine belongs to the chemokine family found only in primates. Based on amino acid sequence, MIP-4 is closely related to MIP-1 alpha (CCL3) and MIP-1 beta (CCL4) (Liang et al.). MIP-4 is produced by antigen-presenting immune cells including dendritic cells, macrophages, and monocytes (Lieshout et al.). For consistency and reproducibility across your applications, macrophage inflammatory protein-4 from STEMCELL comes lyophilised with ≥95% purity, and is verified by LAL analysis to ensure endotoxin levels are ≤1,0 EU/μg protein.

Nerve growth factor (NGF)-beta is a prototypical member of the neurotrophin family and has a role in the survival and growth of neural cells, regulating cell growth, promoting differentiation into neurons, and neuron migration. The beta subtype of NGF is biologically active in comparison to the alpha-2 and gamma-2 subtypes. NGF-beta in its secreted form can bind to tyrosine kinase A (TrkA) receptor with high affinity and to p75 (NTR) with low affinity (Levi and Alemà; Sofroniew et al.). NGF has been shown to possess pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrogenic properties (Micera et al.). It has also been shown that overexpression of NGF-beta promotes differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into neurons through regulation of AKT and MAPK pathways (Yuan et al.).

Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that activates NF-kB, MAPK, and PI3K/AKT pathways. Activated T cells and macrophages are the primary producers of TNF-α in response to inflammation and infectious conditions. Many other cell types have been shown to produce TNF-α, among them B cells, NK cells, mast cells, neutrophils, dendritic cells, microglia, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, cardiomyocytes, and fibroblasts. TNF-α has cytotoxic effects on cancer cells in vitro by stimulating anti-tumor immuno- suppressive responses. TNF-α stimulates expression of E- and P-selectins, thus facilitating adhesion of neutrophils, monocytes, and memory T cells to activated platelets and endothelial cells (Zelová and Hosek). Other effects of TNF-α include vasodilatation and edema formation. This product is animal component-free.

Interferon-alpha (IFN-α) is a type I interferon, produced by virus-infected cells, and is released as a soluble factor to initiate antiviral responses (Isaacs and Lindenmann). IFN-α2 is the most potent IFN-α used in fundamental research and in most clinical applications. The best-known IFN-α2 subvariants, 2A and 2B, differ by only one or two amino acids at positions 23 and/or 34 of the mature protein (von Gabain et al.). Type I IFNs exert potent antitumor activity by increasing the cytotoxic activity of NK and T cells, as well as by inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells (Paul et al.). Additionally, it has been shown that proinflammatory IFN-α modulates the function of B cells in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (Chang et al.), and pegylated forms of IFN-alpha 2A and 2B have implications in the treatment of hepatitis C (Foster et al.).

Interleukin 3 (IL-3) is a species-specific pleiotropic cytokine that promotes the survival and proliferation of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells and lineage-committed progenitor cells and their differentiation into mature cells of most lineages, including mast cells, basophils, neutrophils, eosinophils, macrophages, dendritic cells, erythrocytes, and megakaryocytes (Fung et al.; Metcalf et al.; Broughton et al.). IL-3 is produced by activated T cells, and has a physiological role in inflammation and allergies by promoting the secretion of inflammatory mediators such as histamine, IL-4, and IL-6 by mast cells, basophils and eosinophils. The mouse IL-3 receptor consists of a unique alpha-subunit (CD123) and two beta subunits, one specific for IL-3 (βIL-3), the other shared with the receptors for IL-5 and GM-CSF (beta common chain, βc or CD131). IL-3 binding to heterodimeric receptors containing the alpha subunit and one of either beta subunits activates JAK/STAT, MAPK, and PI3K signaling pathways (Scott and Begley).

Use omentin for the maintenance of insulin sensitivity and metabolism, decreasing levels of this adipokine have been associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes (Tan et al.). Studies have suggested that omentin may have protective effects against atherosclerosis, arterial calcification, and myocardial injury through AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and Akt-dependent mechanisms (Xu et al., Kataoka et al.). Through regulation of Sirt1-dependent p53 deacetylation, omentin can inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells (Zhang and Zhou). Omentin is mainly produced by visceral adipose tissue, but is also expressed in the small intestine, colon, mesothelial cells, vascular cells, and plasma (Watanabe et al). Protein sequence analysis has shown that omentin comprises 313 amino acids, with a secretory signal sequence and fibrinogen-related domain (Yang et al.). For consistency and reproducibility across your applications, Omentin from STEMCELL comes lyophilised with ≥90% purity, and is verified by LAL analysis to ensure endotoxin levels are ≤5,0 EU/μg protein.

Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily (Anderson et al.). Cytokines in the TNF superfamily are involved in a variety of long-term cellular activities such as differentiation, proliferation, and cell death (MacEwan). RANKL is a type II homotrimeric transmembrane protein expressed in both a membrane-bound and secreted form (Ikeda et al.). RANKL binds to the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B (RANK). Upon binding to its receptor, RANKL activates the AKT signaling pathway (Moon et al.). Osteoprotegerin (OPG) may also bind RANKL, and this binding competes with RANKL-RANK binding (Lacey et al.). RANKL is involved in osteoclastogenesis (Lacey et al.; Yasuda et al.) and T cell activation (Wong et al.). This product is animal component-free.

Fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF-10) is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family which is predominantly expressed by mesenchymal fibroblasts during embryonic development (Emoto et al.; Igarashi et al.). It binds with high affinity to fibroblast growth factor receptor 2-IIIb (FGFR2-IIIb), and also has a weaker affinity for FGFR1-IIIb (Beer et al.). FGF-10 and FGF-7 have similar receptor binding properties and target cell specificities but are differentially regulated by components of the extracellular matrix (Emoto et al.; Igarashi et al.). FGF-10 has been shown to mediate epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, which are essential to lung development (Sekine et al.; Ware and Matthay). FGF-10 also has a role in mobilisation and proliferation of lung-resident mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and protection and repair against acute lung injury (Tong et al.; Ware and Matthay) and endodermal differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells to insulin-producing pancreatic-like cells (Takeuchi et al.). This product is animal component-free.

Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), also known as type II interferon, is produced by T and NK cells, and in smaller amounts by dendritic cells and macrophages. IFN-γ is controlled by cytokines such as IL-12 and IL-18 secreted in response to infection (Schroder et al.). IFN-γ binds to a receptor complex and initiates signal transduction via the JAK/STAT pathway; this culminates in the transcription and activation of many genes that control a diverse array of immunological functions (De Weerd and Nguyen; Krause et al.). IFN-γ stimulates the antimicrobial and anti-tumor activity of macrophages, NK cells, and neutrophils (Billiau and Matthys) by promoting the activation of microbial effector functions such as production of reactive oxygen species, NO intermediates, complement, etc. (Schroder et al.). IFN-γ enhances MHC class I and II expression in dendritic cells and mononuclear phagocytes, as well as the production of IL-12 by dendritic cells. In B cells, IFN-γ stimulates survival and growth in both mouse and human cells, and redirects B cells from proliferation towards differentiation. IFN-γ favors the development of Th1 vs Th2 cells and stimulates monocyte differentiation and function (Schroder et al.).

A member of the apolipoprotein family, Apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I) is a major glycoprotein component of high density lipoprotein (HDL) particles (Frank and Marcel) which facilitate the reverse transport of cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver. Apo A-I binds to the scavenger receptor SR-A1, allowing HDL particles to interact with cells in peripheral tissues (Neyen et al.), and is involved in the esterification of cholesterol, acting as a cofactor for lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT; Frohlich). Apo A-I has been shown to bind to the scavenger receptor SR-B1 (Williams et al.) and the beta chain of ATP synthase (Martinez et al.) on hepatocytes, highlighting its importance in HDL endocytosis. Mutations in the APOA1 encoding gene may result in dysregulated HDL levels, leading to an increased risk of amyloidosis and ischemic heart disease (Haase et al.; Obici et al.). This protein product contains a His-residue tag at the amino end of the polypeptide chain. This protein product contains a His-residue tag at the amino end of the polypeptide chain.

Interleukin 10 (IL-10) is the founding member of the IL-10 family of class II cytokines. All of the IL-10 cytokine family members have a four-helix bundle consisting of α-helical folds. Upon binding to its receptor, IL-10 activates signaling through JAK1 and STAT3. It is produced by dendritic cells, macrophages, and CD4 T cells, as well as mast cells, NK cells, neutrophils, and B cells, under specific stimulating conditions (Saraiva and O'Garra). IL-10 can inhibit the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and promote healing processes, and is important for the function of T regulatory cells. IL-10 also enhances B cell proliferation, immunoglobulin secretion, and class II MHC expression, while IL-10 produced by macrophages inhibits activation of neighboring macrophages, thus allowing a level of self-regulation (Ouyang et al.). This product is animal component-free.

Interferon alpha 1 (IFNA1) belongs to the type 1 interferon family of cytokines, which bind interferon alpha receptors (IFNAR; composed of IFNAR1 and IFNAR2 subunits) that are involved in interferon-induced JAK-STAT signaling (Shemesh et al.). Interferons have inhibitory effects on viral replication and pathogenesis, and studies have found that IFN alpha can prevent the spread of herpes simplex virus (HSV) (Mikloska and Cunningham), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (George and Mattapallil). Pegylated forms of IFN alpha are currently approved for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (Woo et al.). IFN alpha also displays anti-tumor effects by regulating cell growth and proliferation, and it is used in the treatment of different cancers (Tagliaferri et al.). Interferons display alpha-helical structures with four helices forming an antiparallel alpha-helix bundle (Walter). This protein contains a His-residue tag at the carboxyl end of the polypeptide chain. For consistency and reproducibility across your applications, interferon alpha 1 from STEMCELL comes lyophilised with ≥90% purity, specific activity EC50 ≤40 to 200 pg/ml, and LAL analysis verification ensuring endotoxin levels are ≤1,0 EU/μg protein.
