Application

Human IL-2 Protein, His Tag AIDD-Ready protein is designed for direct use in SPR assays. It is supplied in a sugar-free, glycerol-free formulation to eliminate refractive index interference in SPR. No desalting or buffer exchange is required before use, simplifying the SPR workflow and supporting high-throughput experimental validation to accelerate the transition from AI prediction to wet-lab validation.

Features and Advantages
  • Directly compatible with SPR: No desalting or buffer exchange required; supplied as a liquid to reduce sample preparation and improve experimental efficiency.
  • High batch-to-batch consistency: Each lot is released using SPR QC to ensure experimental reproducibility.
  • Validated with representative drugs: SPR binding activity is validated using representative drug antibodies to ensure suitability for drug screening and evaluation.
Synonyms

IL2, TCGF, lymphokine, Interleukin 2

Source

Human IL-2 Protein, His Tag (IL2-H52H8AI) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Ala 21 - Thr 153 (Accession # P60568-1).

Predicted N-terminus: Ala 21

Molecular Characterization

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.

The protein has a calculated MW of 17.3 kDa. The protein migrates as 15 kDa and 17-18 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

Purity

>90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Formulation

Formulated in a proprietary trehalose-free buffer, supplied ready-to-use for SPR/BLI analysis - no buffer exchange required.

For detailed formulation, please refer to the batch-specific COA.

Background

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is an interleukin, a type of cytokine immune system signaling molecule, which is a leukocytotrophic hormone that is instrumental in the body's natural response to microbial infection and in discriminating between foreign (non-self) and self. IL-2 mediates its effects by binding to IL-2 receptors, which are expressed by lymphocytes, the cells that are responsible for immunity. Mature human IL-2 shares 56% and 66% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat IL-2, respectively. Human and mouse IL-2 exhibit crossspecies activity. The receptor for IL-2 consists of three subunits that are present on the cell surface in varying preformed complexes. IL-2 is also necessary during T cell development in the thymus for the maturation of a unique subset of T cells that are termed regulatory T cells (T-regs). After exiting from the thymus, T-Regs function to prevent other T cells from recognizing and reacting against "self antigens", which could result in "autoimmunity". T-Regs do so by preventing the responding cells from producing IL-2. Thus, IL-2 is required to discriminate between self and non-self, another one of the unique characteristics of the immune system.
