Human Recombinant IL-21
Supplier: STEMCELL Technologies
Interleukin 21 (IL-21) is a pleiotropic cytokine that is composed of four α-helical bundles and primarily produced by natural killer T (NKT) cells, T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, and Th17 cells (Spolski and Leonard 2008). IL-21 signals via heterodimers of the IL-21 receptor (IL-21R) and the IL2RG encoded common cytokine receptor γ-chain (Parrish-Novak et al.; Ozaki K et al. 2000), and utilizes the JAK/STAT, MAPK, and PI3K pathways (Spolski and Leonard 2014). IL-21 has been shown to have a critical role in regulating immunoglobulin production and differentiation of the pro-inflammatory Th17 population of cells (Ozaki et al. 2002; Nurieva et al.). Additionally, IL-21 specifically sustains CD8+ T cell effector activity and provides a mechanism of CD4+ T cell help during chronic viral infection (Elsaesser et al.). IL-21 signaling was also found critical for the development of type 1 diabetes in NOD mice (Sutherland et al.) and control of T cell autoimmunity by regulatory B cells (Yoshizaki et al.).

Human/Mouse Recombinant TGF-beta 3
Supplier: STEMCELL Technologies
Transforming growth factor (TGF) beta 3 is a member of the TGF-β superfamily and regulates diverse cellular phenotypes. TGF-beta 3 binds to serine-threonine kinase type I and II receptors and activates signal transduction through SMAD2/3 proteins, thus regulating a variety of functions, including cell proliferation, differentiation, wound healing, apoptosis, and metabolism (Massagué; McDowell et al.). TGF-beta 3 enhances glycosaminoglycan production by mesenchymal stromal cells, stimulates scar-free healing, and improves glucose tolerance and phenotypic changes in adipocyte morphology (Hall et al.; Holton et al.). TGF-beta 3 induces proliferation of posterofrontal suture-derived mesenchymal stromal cells, and stimulates expression of fibroblast growth factors 2 and 18 (James et al.).

Human Recombinant BAFF
Supplier: STEMCELL Technologies
B cell activating factor (BAFF) is part of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily and is expressed by monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and neutrophils (Mackay and amp; Browning; Scapini et al.). It binds to 3 receptors: BAFF-R, TACI, and BCMA, all of which are expressed by B cells at various times in their development (Liu and amp; Davidson). BAFF-R signaling activates the NF-kB signaling pathway, and promotes B cell survival, Ig class switching, and antigen presentation (Bossen and amp; Schneider; Liu and amp; Davidson; Naradikian et al.). BAFF also has functions in other cell types: it promotes monocyte survival and activation, proinflammatory cytokine secretion, and differentiation into macrophages (Chang et al.), and co-stimulates anti-CD3-mediated activation of human T cells (Huard et al.; Mackay and amp; Leung).

Human Recombinant FGFacidic, ACF
Supplier: STEMCELL Technologies
Fibroblast growth factor acidic (FGF-acidic), also known as FGF-1, is a potent activator of DNA synthesis, cell proliferation, and chemotaxis and is known to play numerous roles in development, regeneration, and angiogenesis (Galzie et al.; Jaye et al.; Presta et al.). FGF-acidic is produced by multiple cell types and is capable of activating all cells of mesodermal origin and many cells of neuroectodermal, ectodermal, and endodermal origin. It is found in large quantities in the brain, but is also expressed in hepatocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, neurons of the central nervous system, skeletal muscle cells, fibroblasts, keratinocytes, endothelial cells, intestinal columnar epithelial cells, and pituitary basophils and acidophils. FGF-acidic is secreted as a disulfide-linked homodimer and is stored in complex with heparan sulfate, a requirement for its interaction with FGF receptors (Guerrini et al.; Mohammadi et al.). Internalized FGF-acidic signals via protein kinase C and promotes cell survival by inhibiting p53 and proapoptotic signaling (Bouleau et al.). This product is animal component-free.

Human Recombinant IL-1 beta, ACF
Supplier: STEMCELL Technologies
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. This product is animal component-free.

Lipopolysaccharide from E. coli (O55:B5)
Supplier: STEMCELL Technologies
Trigger a variety of immunological responses with E. coli Lipopolysaccharide O55:B5 (S-form), a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from the O55:B5 serotype of the Gram-negative bacteria and nbsp Escherichia coli. Composed of a lipid A, a core oligosaccharide, and an O antigen, LPS are glycolipid constituents that reside on the outer membranes of gram-negative bacteria (Kitchens RL et al.). LPS protects bacteria against bile salts and lipophilic antibiotics by maintaining the outer integrity of the cell membrane (Bäckhed F et al.). E. coli lipopolysaccharide O55:B5 (S-form), in particular, is predominantly recognized by toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), which leads to the activation of NF-κβ, a protein complex which plays a key role in regulating immune response (Kuzmich N et al.). Activation of NF-κβ can trigger increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1 and TNF-α by macrophages (Matuschak GM et al.). This LPS can also interact with CD14 to activate phospholipase Cγ2 and kinases of the Src family, trigger influxes of extracellular Ca2+, as well as calcineurin-dependent translocation of the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) family of transcription factors (Li CC et al.). When added to ImmunoCult™-SF macrophage medium (Catalog #10961), stimulation with lipopolysaccharide from E. coli (O55:B5) and IFN-γ supports the polarization to M1 (classically activated) macrophages. Warning: This product is highly pyrogenic. Avoid all means by which the product may enter the bloodstream.

Human Recombinant Visfatin
Supplier: STEMCELL Technologies
Use visfatin to catalyse the production of nicotinamide mononucleotide from nicotinamide (Revollo et al.). Nicotinamide mononucleotide is a precursor to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) that is vital to energy metabolism, cell death, and other cellular processes (Ying). Visfatin also acts as an immunomodulator by activating leukocytes and inducing the production of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines (Moschen et al.), and there is evidence that visfatin can regulate insulin receptor signaling and insulin secretion (Brown et al.). Belonging to the nicotinate phosphoribosyltransferase (NAPRTase) family, Visfatin is an adipokine that is produced in adipocytes, leukocytes, and hepatocytes (Chiu et al., Garten et al., Kralisch et al.). It is active as a homodimer with each identical monomer consisting of two structural domains made up of 19 β-strands and 13 α-helices (Kim et al.). For consistency and reproducibility across your applications, visfatin from STEMCELL comes lyophilised with ≥90% purity, and is verified by LAL analysis to ensure endotoxin levels are ≤1,0 EU/μg protein.

Mouse Recombinant SCF (E. coli-expressed)
Supplier: STEMCELL Technologies
Stem cell factor (SCF) is an early-acting cytokine that plays a pivotal role in the regulation of embryonic and adult hematopoiesis. SCF promotes cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, adhesion, and functional activation of cells at multiple levels of the hematopoietic hierarchy. Together with other cytokines such as thrombopoietin and Flt3/Flk-2 Ligand, SCF is commonly used to promote expansion of primitive hematopoietic stem cells and multi-potent progenitor cells in culture (Huang et al.; Kent et al.). In synergy with various growth factors, including IL-2, IL-3, IL-6, IL-7, G-CSF, and erythropoietin, SCF increases proliferation and differentiation of myeloid and erythroid progenitor cells and a subset of lymphoid progenitor cells (Broudy). In the mouse, SCF is essential during fetal gonadal development (Mauduit). It is produced by stromal cells in the fetal liver, bone marrow, and thymus, in the central nervous system, in keratinocytes, and in the gut mucosa, and can function as a chemotactic and chemokinetic factor. SCF exists in two biologically active splice forms: a soluble and a transmembrane isoform. Upon binding to its receptor (c-kit tyrosine kinase receptor; CD117), it activates PI3K, JAK/STAT, and MAPK pathways. SCF and signaling from c-kit has also been reported to play an important role in pigmentation, fertility, vasculogenesis, motility of the gut via c-kit-positive interstitial cells of Cajal, and in the migration of neuronal stem and progenitor cells to sites of injury in the brain (Lennartsson and Ronnstrand).

Human Recombinant Flt3/Flk-2 Ligand (E. coli expressed)
Supplier: STEMCELL Technologies
Flt3/Flk-2 (Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3/fetal liver kinase-2) Ligand is a hematopoietic cytokine that plays an important role as a co-stimulatory factor in the proliferation, differentiation, and survival of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and in the development of the immune system (Hannum et al.). Flt3/Flk-2 Ligand, together with stem cell factor and thrombopoietin, is commonly used to promote expansion of primitive CD34+ hematopoietic cells in culture. In combination with myeloid cytokines such as GM-CSF, G-CSF, or M-CSF, Flt3/Flk-2 Ligand enhances the growth and numbers of clonogenic myeloid progenitor cells. In synergy with the interleukins IL-3, IL-4, IL-7, IL-11, IL-12, IL-15, and GM-CSF and TNF-α, Flt3/Flk-2 Ligand regulates the development of various lymphoid progenitor cells, including dendritic cell, B cell, T cell, and NK cell progenitors. In contrast, Flt3/Flk-2 Ligand has no significant effect on erythropoiesis or megakaryopoiesis (Drexler andamp; Quentmeier; Wodnar-Filipowicz). Flt3/Flk-2 Ligand exists as membrane-bound and soluble isoforms. Both isoforms are biologically active and signal through the class III tyrosine kinase receptor (Flt3/Flk-2, CD135; Rosnet et al.). Flt3/Flk-2 Ligand is produced by a variety of cell types, including uncommitted and committed hematopoietic cells and stromal fibroblasts, whereas expression of the Flt3/Flk-2 receptor is restricted to CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Flt3/Flk-2 receptor is also expressed on leukemic cells and outside the hematopoietic system in the brain, placenta, and testis (Drexler andamp; Quentmeier; Hannum et al.).

It binds CXCR3 activating ERK1/2, p38/MAPK, JNK, and PI3-kinase/AKT signaling pathways, inducing intracellular calcium influx, DNA synthesis, cell proliferation, and chemotaxis. IP-10 regulates innate and adaptive immune responses by affecting the function of activated T cells, natural killer cells, inflammatory dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells. IP-10 is produced by leukocytes, activated neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and keratinocytes in response to IFN-gamma. IP-10 has been implicated in a wide range of diseases, including infectious diseases and chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, as well as in tumor formation (Liu et al.).

Human Recombinant EGFR
Supplier: STEMCELL Technologies
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a type I transmembrane protein and receptor tyrosine kinase. EGFR has been shown to bind to some members of the EGF family ligands including EGF, amphiregulin, TGF-α, betacellulin, epiregulin, heparin-binding EGF, and neuregulin-2α. EGFR ligand binding induces homodimerization, as well as heterodimerization of EGFR with ErbB2 or with ligand-activated ErbB3 or ErbB4 (Schlessinger). Dimerization results in kinase activation, phosphorylation, and cell signaling, mediated primarily through MEK/ERF and AKT pathways (Navlonic et al.). EGFR signaling has been shown to regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, motility, and apoptosis. Elevated levels of EGFR have been correlated with carcinogenesis (Maihle et al.). Protein contains a His-residue tag at the carboxyl end of the polypeptide chain.

Human Recombinant VEGF-C
Supplier: STEMCELL Technologies
Vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) is a member of the VEGF/platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) family of proteins. VEGF-C is a potent angiogenic factor and promotes lymphangiogenesis, endothelial cell growth and survival, and can affect blood vessel permeability. VEGF-C is expressed in a range of tissues, but is not expressed in peripheral blood lymphocytes. VEGF-C forms a non-covalent, cell surface-associated, disulfide-linked homodimer that can bind and activate VEGF receptors 2 (VEGFR-2 [Flk1]) and 3 (VEGFR-3 [Flt4]). Interaction with VEGFR-2 results in physiological and intratumoral neoangiogenesis and vessel sprouting (Cao et al.; Tammela et al.), whereas interaction with VEGFR-3 is critical for lymphangiogenesis (Karkkainen et al.; Laakkonen et al.; Mäkinen et al.). Overexpression of VEGF-C in tumor cells has been shown to result in enhanced lymph flow and increased metastasis to regional lymph nodes (Hoshida et al.; Mandriota et al.; Padera et al.; Skobe et al.).
