Rhesus macaque Interleukin-8 (rRhIL-8)

• Catalog Number: orb1494912
• Category: Proteins
• Description: Interleukin-8 (C-X-C motif chemokine 8) is coded by the interleukin 8 gene on the chromosome 5 in Rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta), which is not only 94% identical to human IL-8 but also structurally and functionally similar with the human equivalent. Provide a valuable resource for a primate model of inflammation.
• Form/Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
• MW: Approximately 9.14kD containing 79 amino acid residues.
• Protein Sequence: AVLPRSAKEL RCECIKTYSK PFHPKFIKEL RVIESGPHCA NTEIIVKLSD GRELCLDPKE PWVQRVVEKF VKRAENQNP
• Source: Escherichia coli.
• Biological Activity: Data not available
• Endotoxins: Less than 1EU/μg of rRhIL-8 as determined by LAL method.
• Storage: This lyophilized preparation is stable 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 0.2mm 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.
