Interleukin-8 ( 1-72 a.a ) Porcine Recombinant ( CXCL8 ) ( IL 8 Porcine )

Data sheet

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2um filtered concentrated solution in 1PBS, pH 7.4.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interleukin 8 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Purity

Greater than 95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Description

Interleukin-8 Porcine Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 78 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 9.1kDa. The IL8 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Protein Background

Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a chemokine produced by macrophages and other cell types such as epithelial cells. It is also synthesized by endothelial cells, which store IL-8 in their storage vesicles, the Weibel-Palade bodies. When first encountering an antige

Expression host

Stability

Lyophilized Interleukin-8 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CXCL8 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended
