Stability and Reconstitution

Stability and Storage Lyophilized proteins are stable for 1 year from the date of receipt if stored between (-20°C) and (-80°C). Upon reconstitution we recommend that the solution can be stored at (4°C) for short term or at (-20°C) to (-80°C) for long term. Repeated freeze thaw cycles should be avoided with reconstituted products.
Reconstitution Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the protein in sterile 1x PBS pH 7.4 containing 0.1% endotoxin-free recombinant human serum albumin (HSA).

Background

Interleukin-11 (IL-11) is a member of the IL-6 family of cytokines. It is a pleiotropic cytokine that contributes to hematopoiesis, bone development, tissue remodeling, and tumor development. IL-11 binds with its receptor (IL-11RA), which is widely expressed on stromal cells including fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, and adipocytes. It is thought to be a driver of pulmonary and dermal fibrosis. Upregulation of IL-11 has been linked to rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease.
