- Reconstitution
- Prior to opening, it is recommended to centrifuge the vial briefly to bring the contents down the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. If animal-origin-free condition is expected in your product, then sterile distilled water is recommended. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
- Shipping

- Background
- Interleukin-3 (IL-3) is an interleukin, a type of biological signal (cytokine) which is encoded by the IL3 gene located on chromosome 5 and produced primarily by activated T cells beside human thymic epithelial cells, activated murine mast cells, murine keratinocytes, and neurons/astrocytes. The protein acts in hematopoiesis by controlling the production, differentiation, and function of 2 related white cell populations of the blood, the granulocytes, and the monocytes-macrophages. The human IL-3 reported to be a monomer, as it is known, contains 133 amino acids residues which is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide. Specifically, human, and murine IL-3 share low homology and it does not show activity on murine cells.
