Recombinant Mouse Dendritic Cell Inflammatory Protein 1/CXCL3 (rMuDCIP-1/CXCL3)

• Catalog Number: orb1495017
• Category: Proteins
• Description: CXCL3 is also known as MIP2β (macrophage inflammatory protein 2 beta), or DCIP1 (dendritic cell inflammatory protein1) in mouse, CINC2 (cytokineinduced neutrophil attractant 2) in rat, and GROγ (growth regulated oncogene gamma) in humans. It is an 8 kDa proinflammatory member of the CXC subfamily of heparinbinding chemokines, also called alpha chemokines. Mature mouse CXCL3 shares 88% and 57% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with rat and human CXCL3, respectively.
• Form/Appearance: Lyophilized from a 0.2m filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
• Purity: > 97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
• MW: 7.7 kDa, a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 69 amino acids.
• Protein Sequence: SELRCQCLNT LPRVDFETIQ SLTVTPPGPH CTQTEVIATL KDGQEVCLNP QGPRLQIIIK KILKSGKSS
• Source: Escherichia coli.
• Biological Activity: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. Determined by its ability to chemoattract 293 transfected CXCR2 cells using a concentration range of 10-100 ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of ＞1 x 104 IU/mg.
• Endotoxins: Less than 1EU/g of rMuDCIP-1/CXCL3 as determined by LAL method.
• Storage: This lyophilized preparation is stable for several weeks at 2-8°C, but should be kept at -20°C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8°C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20°C to -70°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
• Buffer/Preservatives: Lyophilized from a 0.2m filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
• Note: For research use only
• Application notes: 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°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
• Expiration Date: 6 months from date of receipt.
