Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: CHO
• Tag: Fc
• Protein Length: 23-99 a.a.
• Description: Interleukin-8 (IL-8) was originally discovered as a neutrophil chemotactic and activating factor and is a member of the alpha (CXC) subfamily of chemokines (including also platelet factor 4, GRO, IP-10, etc.). Many cell types, including monocyte/macrophages, T cells, neutrophils, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, keratinocytes, hepatocytes, chondrocytes and various tumor cell lines, produce IL-8 in response to a wide variety of proinflammatory stimuli such as exposure to IL-1, TNF, LPS and viruses. IL-8 has a wide range of other proinflammatory effects. It is a potent chemoattractant for neutrophils and causes degranulation of neutrophil specific granules and azurophilic granules. IL-8 induces expression of the cell adhesion molecules CD11/CD18 and enhances the adherence of neutrophils to endothelial cells and subendothelial matrix proteins. Besides neutrophils, IL-8 is also chemotactic for basophils, T cells and eosinophils. IL-8 has been reported to be a co-mitogen for keratinocytes and was also shown to be an autocrine growth factor for melanoma cells. IL-8 was also reported to be angiogenic both in vivo and in vitro.
• Form: Lyophilized from 0.2μm-filtered solution in PBS.
• Bio-activity: Shows the biological function of the IL-8 moiety and exerts a prolonged circulating half-life caused by the modified Fc domain.
• Purity: ≥98% (SDS-PAGE)
• Stability: Stable for at least 1 year after receipt when stored at -20°C. Working aliquots are stable for up to 3 months when stored at -20°C.
• Storage: Short Term Storage: +4°C; Long Term Storage: -20°C. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
