Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in 1xPBS, pH 7.2, containing 5% trehalose.
Purity
Greater than 95% as determined by(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Biological Activity
The ED50 was determined by the dose dependent prolifiration of TF-1 cells and was found to be < 1ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of >1,000,000 units/mg. This analog has also been shown to exhibit increased in vivo activity compared to wild type IL-13.
