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 1xPBS pH 7.4 containing 0.1% endotoxin-free recombinant human serum albumin (HSA).

Background

IL-22 is a 6-α-helix, bundle cytokine that is a member of the IL-10 family of cytokines. It is primarily produced by innate lymphoid cells (ILCS) and multiple T cell subsets including αβT, γδT, and NKT cells. Its production is regulated upstream by several different cytokines including IL-23, IL-1β, and IL-7. IL-22 binds with the IL-22 receptor, expressed on stromal and epithelial cells in a wide range of tissues, but it can also bind in circulation with the IL-22 binding protein (IL-22BP), which functions as a negative regulator. Binding with the receptor triggers several downstream pathways resulting in pro-inflammatory responses, increased mucus production, as well as increased production of anti-bacterial and anti-fungal proteins. IL-22 also plays a role in promoting wound healing and tissue regeneration in response to injury. Overexpression of IL-22 has been linked to several cancers, most notably colon cancer (PMID: 25706098, 33042126).
