CTGrade GMP rh IL-7
CTGrade GMP rh IL-7 is a recombinant human protein that is produced from E. coli and is designed to support basic, translational, and clinical research, as well as commercial applications, and offers:
- High biological activity verified by a relevant bioactivity assay
- Low endotoxin levels
- ≥ 97% purity
- High lot-to-lot consistency
Size: 50 µg, 100 µg, and 1 mg. Custom sizes and packaging available on request.
IL-7 promotes the stimulation of multipotent (pluripotent) hematopoietic stem cells into lymphoid progenitor cells. IL-7, along with IL-2, 15, and 21, is a member of the common gamma (γc) chain cytokine family.
- Secreted by bone marrow and thymic stromal cells, dendritic cells, intestinal epithelial cells, hepatocytes, and keratinocytes
- Signals through its receptor (IL-7R) to promote the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells into T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells
- Is a regulator of intestinal mucosal lymphocyte proliferation
Promotes favorable phenotypes in adoptive cellular therapies such as CAR-T cell therapy when combined with IL-15. The biological activity of CTGrade GMP interleukins and growth factors is standardized, where applicable, to WHO International standards, providing cell and gene therapy developers consistent, lot-to-lot biological activity and performance.
The CTGrade GMP products are manufactured in a facility that does not use or process beta-lactam containing materials. No animal- or human-derived materials were used during manufacturing or as ingredients. These products are manufactured, tested, and released in an ISO 9001:2015 certified facility following cGMP practices. USP chapter <1043> for ancillary materials has been considered in the manufacture of these products.
SDS-PAGE Showing a Prominent Band at 17.5 kDa


Figure 1. CTGrade GMP rh IL-7 (1 μg) was resolved with SDS-PAGE under non-reducing (NR) and reducing (R) conditions and visualized by InstantBlue staining showing a prominent band at 17.5 kDa.
Cell-Based Proliferation Assay


Figure 2. The biological activity of CTGrade GMP rh IL-7 was determined in a PHA-stimulated human PBMC cell-based proliferation assay.
