IL-22

IL-22 is a member of the IL-10 family of regulatory cytokines which includes IL-10, IL-19, IL-20, IL-22, IL-24 and IL-26. Members of this family share partial homology in their amino acid sequences, but they are dissimilar in their biological functions. Produced by T lymphocytes, IL-22 inhibits IL-4 production by Th2 cells, and induces acute phase reactants in the liver and pancreas. IL-22 signals through a receptor system consisting of IL-10R-β/CRF2-4 and IL-22R, both of which are members of the class II cytokine-receptor family. Recombinant human IL-22 is a 33.6 kDa non-disulfide-linked homodimeric protein containing of two 147 amino acid polypeptide chains.

Assay #1: Determined by its ability to stimulate the proliferation of HEK-Blue™ IL-22 reporter cells. Assay #2: Measured by its ability to induce IL-10 secretion in COLO 205 (human colon carcinoma cells) . The expected ED50 for this effect is 0.7- 1.0 ng/ml.
