Biochem/physiol Actions

IL-17, initially known as CTLA-8, is a T cell-expressed polypeptide that appears to be involved in the regulation of the hematopoietic system. IL-17 has been shown to induce IL-6, IL-8, and G-CSF production by fibroblasts; all of these cytokines have demonstrated effects on hematopoiesis.
IL-17A belongs to the IL-17 family and is produced by Th17 cells, a subset of T helper cells. Interleukin 17 (IL-17), initially known as CTLA-8, is a T cell expressed polypeptide that appears to be involved in the regulation of the hematopoietic system. IL-17 has been shown to induce IL-6, IL-8, and G-CSF production by fibroblasts; all of these cytokines have demonstrated effects on hematopoiesis. IL-17 induces stromal cells to produce proinflammatory and hematopoietic cytokines, upregulates production of growth factors that promote angiogenesis, and enhances expression of adhesion molecules in fibroblasts.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4+ 250 mM NaCl

Preparation Note

HumanKine Interleukin-17A (IL-17A), expressed in human HEK 293 cells, is a glycosylated homodimer with an apparent molecular mass of 30-35 kDa due to glycosylation. Production in human 293 cells offers authentic glycosylation. Glycosylation contributes to stability in cell growth media and other applications.

Analysis Note

The specific activity was determined by the dose-dependent induction of IL-6 secretion from NDHF adult fibroblasts.

Interleukin 17 (IL-17) plays critical roles in the pathogenesis of various autoimmune diseases, including experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). How the signals triggered by this powerful inflammatory cytokine are controlled to avoid abnormal inflammatory responses is not well understood. In this

The growth potential of the tumor-like Echinococcus multilocularis metacestode (causing alveolar echinococcosis, AE) is directly linked to the nature/function of the periparasitic host immune-mediated processes. We previously showed that Fibrinogen-like-protein 2 (FGL2), a novel CD4+CD25+ Treg effector molecule, was over-expressed

It is widely accepted that narcotic use during pregnancy and specific environmental factors (e.g., maternal immune activation and chronic stress) may increase risk of neuropsychiatric illness in offspring. However, little progress has been made in defining human-specific in utero neurodevelopmental
