| Summary |
Human CCL8, also known as monocyte chemotactic protein 2 (MCP-2), is belonging to the CC chemokine family. It is encoded by the gene CCL8. MCP-2 has two homogeneous MCP-1 (CCL2) and MCP-3 (CCL7). These three MCPs were found by IL-1-beta triggered human MG-63 osteosarcoma cells. CCL8 shares 62 % amino acid sequence identity with MCP-1, and shares 58 % amino acid sequence identity with MCP-2. CCL8 has chemotactic function for monocytes, eosinophils and neutrophils. In addition, it can also chemoattract activated NK cells. |
| Source |
Escherichia coli. |
| Molecular Weight |
Approximately 8.9 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 76 amino acids. |
| Biological Activity |
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biological activity determined by a chemotaxis bioassay using human peripheral blood monocytes is in a concentration range of 10-100 ng/ml. |
| Appearance |
Sterile filtered white lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered concentrated solution in 20 mM PB, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl. |
| Endotoxin |
Less than 1 EU/ug of rHuMCP-2/CCL8 as determined by LAL method. |
| Reconstitution |
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. |
| Stability and Storage |
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.- 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 °C as supplied.- 1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.- 3 months, -20 to -70 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution. |
