Miltenyi, 170-076-110, MACS® GMP Recombinant Human IL-3

Biological activity

Background information
IL-3 is mainly produced by activated T cells, but is also secreted by other cell types, including mast cells, eosinophils, and keratinocytes. Beside its role as hematopoietic growth factor, IL-3 also affects the functional activity of mature mast cells, basophils, eosinophils, and macrophages.

Applications
MACS GMP Recombinant Human IL-3 can be used for a variety of applications, including the ex vivo cultivation of human plasmacytoid dendritic cells from enriched CD304 (BDCA-4)+ cells.2–4

Technical specifications
- Identity/ Molecular mass: 15089 Da, determined by mass spectrometry. This corresponds to the mature form of human IL-3 (133 amino acids).
- Purity: ≥ 95 % as determined by chip electrophoresis.
- Endotoxin content: < 50 EU/mg, as determined by kinetic Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) assay (Pharmacopoeia Europaea (Ph. Eur.)).
- Residual host cell DNA content: < 20 ng/mg, as determined by quantitative PCR specific for E. coli genomic DNA.
- Residual host cell protein content: < 1 µg/mg, as determined by E. coli HCP ELISA.

Overview
Interleukin 3 (IL-3) is a hematopoietic growth factor with a broad spectrum of biologic activities. These include the stimulation of the proliferation and differentiation of immature pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells and various lineage-committed progenitor cells, leading to the production of most of the major blood cell types.
MACS GMP Recombinant Human IL-3 is designed for ex vivo cell culture processing. No animal- or human-derived materials were used for the manufacture of this product, unless otherwise stated in the respective Certificate of Origin. The product is lyophilized without carrier protein or preservatives.
