Fractalkine Mouse

Data sheet

Formulation

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

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized CX3CL1 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

Fractalkine Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 76 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 8.7kDa. The CX3CL1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Protein Background

Fractalkine soluble form is chemotactic for t-cells and monocytes, but not for neutrophils. Fractalkine membrane-bound form promotes adhesion of those leukocytes to endothelial cells. Fractalkine regulates leukocyte adhesion and migration processes at the

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Synonyms

Fractalkine, C-X3-C motif chemokine 1, CX3C membrane-anchored chemokine, Neurotactin, Small-inducible cytokine D1, Cx3cl1, Cx3c, Fkn, Scyd1, CX3C, ABCD-3, AB030188, AI848747, D8Bwg0439e.

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Stability

Lyophilized CX3CL1 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CX3CL1 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
