IL-27 Protein, Mouse (228a.a, HEK293, His)

IL-27 (Interleukin-27) is a heterodimeric cytokine of the IL-12 family, composed of two subunits, EBI3 (Epstein-Barr-virus-induced molecule 3) and p28^[1]. IL-27 enhances the development, proliferation, and cytotoxic activity of CD8⁺ T cells, thereby indirectly promoting anti-tumor immunity^{[ 2]}. IL-27 Protein, Mouse (228a.a, HEK293, His) is a recombinant protein with a His label that consists of two subunits, EBI3 (IL27B) (228 amino acids (M1-P228)) and IL27A (205 amino acids (F29-S234)), and is produced by HEK293 cells.

IL-27 is mainly produced by cells of myeloid origin such as monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and microglial cells, in response to stimuli acting through Toll-like receptors or TNF-R-family members^[3].
The amino acid sequence of human IL-27 protein has low homology for mouse IL-27 protein.
IL-27 acts through a heterodimer receptor consisting of IL-27Rα (WSX1) and gp130 chains, activates the JAK/STAT signaling pathway, which mainly involves STAT1 and STAT3 phosphorylation. STAT3 activation by IL-27 induces the expression of SOCS3, which inhibits further IL-27 signaling in a negative feedback loop, through inhibition of JAK activity^[3].
IL-27 plays multiple roles in proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory immune responses. IL-27 enhances NF-κB/AP-1 activity and increases IL-12p40, TNF-α, and IL-6 production, increases TLR4 and TLR5 expression^[5]. IL-27 exerts inhibitory effects upon hPMSC adherence and proliferation, and promotes migration of hPMSCs. Besides, IL-27 can upregulate PDL1 expression and enhance the regulatory effects of hPMSCs on Th1 and Th2 cell differentiations and IL-10 secretion from CD4+T cells^[6]. IL-27 induces the proliferation and differentiation in hematopoietic stem cells^[7]. IL-27 increases IL-10 levels and the expression of p-STAT1, p-STAT3^[8]. IL-27 promotes the development and differentiation of CD4+IL-10+ T cells^[9].

IL-27 (mouse) (1 ng/mL; 7, 14, 21 days) enhances the differentiation of CD34−KSL HSCs^[7].
IL-27 (mouse) (2, 1, 25, 5 ng) increases the expression of p-STAT1, p-STAT3^[8].
IL-27 (mouse) (2 ng/ml) significantly up-regulates the differentiation of CD4+IL-1+ T cells^[9].

IL-27 (mouse) (5, 1 ng; p.o.; daily for 5 days) increases IL-1 levels in the circulation but not in the distal colon in Rag-/- mice ^[8].
IL-27 (mouse) (2 ng/mouse; i.p.; daily for 7 days) up-regulates CD4+IL-1+ T cells and suppress inflammation in NOD mice^[9].

1.Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized mouse IL27-His at 10 μg/mL (100 μl/well) can bind human IL27RA-Fc and the EC₅₀ is 0.26-0.62 μg/mL.
2. Measured in antiviral assay using HepG2 cells infected with vesicular stomatitisvirus (VSV) and the ED₅₀ is 2-10 ng/mL.
