Active Recombinant Human CCL8 Protein (76 aa)

• Cat.No.: CCL8-079C
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human CCL8 Protein without tag was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Protein Length: 76
• Description: MCP-2 and MCP-3 are two monocyte chemotactic proteins produced by human MG-63 osteosarcoma cells. Both MCP-2 and MCP-3 are members of the CC family of chemokines and share 62% and 71% amino acid sequence identity, respectively, with MCP-1.MCP-3 also shares 58% amino acid identity with MCP-2. Similarly to other CC chemokines, all three MCP proteins are monocyte chemoattractants. In addition,the three MCPs can chemoattract activated NK cells as well as CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes. All three cytokines have also been shown to attract eosinophils and induce histamine secretion from basophils.
• Form: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
• Bio-activity: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. Measured by its ability to chemoattract THP-1 human acute monocytic leukemia cells.The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.03-0.1 μg/mL, corresponding to a Specific Activity of ＞1 × 10^4 IU/mg.
• Molecular Mass: 8.9 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 76 amino acids.
• AA Sequence: QPDSVSIPITCCFNVINRKIPIQRLESYTRITNIQCPKEAVIFKTKRGKEVCADPKERWVRDSMKHLDQIFQNLKP
• Endotoxin: Less than 1 EU/mg of rHuMCP-2/CCL8 as determined by LAL method.
• Purity: >96% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
• Storage: This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 centigrade, but should be kept at -20 centigrade for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8 centigrade. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 to -70 centigrade. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
• Storage Buffer: Lyophilized from a 0.2mm filtered concentrated solution in 20mM PB, pH 7.4, 100mM NaCl.
• Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at < -20 centigrade. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
