Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-2 Mouse Recombinant ( CCL8 ) ( MCP 2 Mouse )

Data sheet

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2um filtered concentrated (1.0mg/ml) solution in 20mM PB, pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized CCL8in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Purity

Greater than 97.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Description

Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-2 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a non-glycosylated, Polypeptide chain containing 74 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 8507 Dalton. The MCP-2 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Protein Background

Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 8 (CCL8) is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family that was once called monocyte chemotactic protein-2 (MCP-2). The CCL8 protein is produced as a precursor containing 109 amino acids, which is cleaved to produce

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Stability

Lyophilized MCP-2 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CCL8 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a c
