Activity (IL2 (Interleukin-2) is a cytokine produced by T-cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation. IL2 is a type of signaling molecule in the immune system, that is required for both T-cell and B-cell proliferation and other activities crucial to regulation of the immune response. Recombinant human IL2 shares 56% AA sequence identity with mouse IL2, suggesting the exist of cross-species activity. Therefore, in order to detect the bioactivity of rhIL2, a cell proliferation assay has been conducted using CTLL-2 mouse cytotoxic T cells. Briefly, CTLL-2 cells were seeded into triplicate wells of 96-well plates at a density of 5,000 cells/well with or without the addition of various concentrations of IL2. After incubated for 48h, cells were observed by inverted microscope and cell proliferation was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). 10uL of CCK-8 solution was added to each well of the plate, the absorbance at 450nm was measured using a microplate reader after incubating the plate for 1-4 hours at 37 degree C. Proliferation of CTLL-2 cells after incubation with IL2 for 48h observed by inverted microscope was shown in Figure 1.)
Application Data (Figure. Cell proliferation of Jurkat cells after stimulated with IL1a.Interleukin 1 alpha (IL1) also known as hematopoietin 1 is a cytokine of the interleukin 1 family that in humans is encoded by the IL1A gene. IL1 is produced mainly by activated macrophages, as well as neutrophils, epithelial cells, and endothelial cells. It possesses metabolic, physiological, haematopoietic activities, and plays one of the central roles in the regulation of the immune responses. It binds to the interleukin-1 receptor. It is on the pathway that activates tumor necrosis factor-alpha. To test the effect of IL1a on cell proliferation, Jurkat cells were seeded into triplicate wells of 96-well plates at a density of 2,000 cells/well with 2% serum standard 1640 including various concentrations of recombinant human IL1a. After incubated for 96h, cells were observed by inverted microscope and cell proliferation was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). Briefly, 10uL of CCK-8 solution was added to each well of the plate, then the absorbance at 450nm was measured using a microplate reader after incubating the plate for 1-4 hours at 37.

Bioactivity (Extracellular superoxide dismutase [Cu-Zn] is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SOD3 gene. This gene encodes a member of the superoxide dismutase (SOD) protein family. SODs are antioxidant enzymes that catalyze the dismutation of two superoxide radicals into hydrogen peroxide and oxygen. Acroding to the report, in a weakly alkaline buffer solution (pH=8.2) with N-tris (hydroxymethyl) amino methane-HCL, pyrogallol can occur autoxidation in the air, then SOD can inhibit this reaction. Thus, we use this way to measure the activity of recombinant human SOD3. The reaction was performed in adding 30uL 50mmol/L pyrogallol to 900uL 50mmol/L Tris-HCl in 1.5ml cuvette (1.0cm light path), rapidly mixing at 25 degree C,then read at 325nm (zero the spectrophotometer using 50mmol/L Tris-HCl) , reacod the OD value every 30 second for 6 times. Control the pyrogallol autoxidation rate at 0.70 OD/min. After, adding various concentrations of recombinant of SOD3 to 900uL 50mmol/L Tris-HCl, incubated for 20min at 25 degree C, then adding 30uL 50mmol/L pyrogallol to each tube, rapidly mixing and read at 325nm, record the OD value every 30 second for 6 times. Under these conditions, the enzyme amount of 50% per minute inhibition of pyrogallol autooxidation is defined as a unit.)
Application Data (IL-1 (Interleukin-1 beta) is a proinflammatory and immunoregulatory cytokine involved in a variety of cellular activities. It has been elucidated that IL-1 stimulation of cells activates MMP-9 (matrix metalloproteinases-9) secretion by the activation of the dual signalling pathways. Thus, a stimulation assay of IL-1 was conducted using 3T3 cell line, and the MMP-9 activity was detected through gel zymography. Briefly, 1×106 3T3 cells were cultured overnight in 5%DMEM, washed with serum-free medium and then stimulated with different concentrations of IL-1 for 20h, and cell lysates were collected to measure MMP-9 activity. Cell lysates samples were denatured by SDS loading buffer, electrophoresed through sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel (SDS–PAGE; 10% gels) containing gelatin (1mg/mL) with nonreducing conditions. After renaturation, incubation and coomassiebrilliant blue (CBB)-stained, MMPs hydrolyzed gelatin nearby, indicated by the white binds on the gel. Result Increased MMP-9 activity in 3T3 cells due to the stimulation of IL-1 was shown in Figure 1.Figure. Activation of MMP-9 by IL-1.)
Proteins are large molecules made up of long chains of amino acids.
They will typically fold into a very particular 3-dimensional shape/conformation, that is sometimes referred to as their “native” form, which allows them to work properly in the body. For the purposes of product categorization, AAA Biotech will typically refer to proteins purified from their original animal host as being “native” proteins (this is to signify their difference compared to their “recombinant” or “synthetic” protein counterparts).
If a protein successfully folds into the correct shape, it is will typically display high fidelity characteristics to its original protein in its original animal host, and be classified as an active protein, as it will be able to function “normally” in most enzymatic or binding capacities. If it loses this shape, due to factors such as heat or strong chemicals (such as detergents), it becomes inactive and is no longer able to perform its basic functions. All of the proteins in this category are made under strict quality control, and they are active, pure, low in contaminants, and stable.
Most are stored as freeze-dried powders and come without extra tags, so they’re very close to the actual natural/native form.

FAQ
1. What are active proteins used for in research?
Active proteins are used primarily in the study of how proteins function, in characterizing/discovering drug interactions, supporting cell growth, running biochemical assays, and in development of diagnostics or therapeutics.
2. How are AAA Biotech's active proteins validated?
AAA Biotech’s active proteins are validated through strict quality control and functional assays to ensure they are properly folded and active. “Active”, though, can be an ambiguous term, so if a specific “activity” or “binding” capability of a protein is of crucial interest to you, please inquire with us prior to purchase, and we will provide further details on how the “Active” modifier was determined to be applicable.
3. Are these proteins tested for biological activity?
Yes, all active proteins from AAA Biotech are tested to confirm they have the expected biological activity before being offered for use. Though, said “biological activity” can be either “enzymatic”, “binding”, or both.
