• Description: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the CXC chemokine family. This chemokine is one of the major mediators of the inflammatory response. This chemokine is secreted by several cell types. It functions as a chemoattractant, and is also a potent angiogenic factor. This gene is believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of bronchiolitis, a common respiratory tract disease caused by viral infection. This gene and other ten members of the CXC chemokine gene family form a chemokine gene cluster in a region mapped to chromosome 4q.
• Biological activity: Biological Activity:Specific Activity of IL8 in chemotaxis of donor PBL neutrophils, threshold concentration corresponding to 25-150ng/ml.
• Form: Lyophilised:Reconstitute in sterile 18MO-cm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.Upon reconstitution IL8-27457TH should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term sto
• Purity: >95% by SDS-PAGE
• Storage buffer: Preservative: NoneConstituents: ddH20
• Storage: Lyophilized protein should be stored below -20°C. Upon reconstitution aliquot and store below -18°C to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
• Sequences of amino acids: The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ser-Ala-Lys-Glu-Leu.
• Sequence Similarities: Belongs to the intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family.
• Full Length: Full L.
