Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1 Alpha Rat Recombinant ( CCL3 ) ( MIP 1a Rat )

Data sheet

Formulation

The protein was lyophilized from 1 mg/ml solution containing no additives.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1a in 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

Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1 alpha Rat Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 69 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 7853 Dalton. The MIP-1a is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniq

Protein Background

Macrophage Inflammatory Proteins (MIP) belong to the family of chemotactic cytokines known as chemokines. In humans, there are two major forms, MIP-1a and MIP-1b that are now officially named CCL3 and CCL4 respectively. Both are major factors produced by

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Synonyms

Small inducible cytokine A3, CCL3, Macrophage inflammatory protein 1-alpha, MIP-1-alpha, Tonsillar lymphocyte LD78 alpha protein, G0/G1 switch regulatory protein 19-1, G0S19-1 protein, SIS-beta, PAT 464.1, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 3, MIP1A, SCYA3, G0S

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Stability

Lyophilized MIP-1a although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CCL3 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

Amino acid sequence

The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be, Ala-Pro-Tyr-Gly-Ala.

Biological Activity

The Activity is calculated by the ability to chemoattract of rat peritoneal macrophages using a conc. of 60 ng/ml corresponding to a Specific Activity of 16,667IU/mg.
