| Summary |
Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is encoded by the IL8 gene and 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. There are many receptors capable to bind IL-8, the most affinity to IL-8 are receptors CXCR1, and CXCR2. As a member of the CXC chemokine family, function of IL-8 is the induction of chemotaxis in its target cells, like neutrophil granulocytes, basophils, and T-cells. . IL-8 is often associated with inflammation and has been cited as a proinflammatory mediator in gingivitis and psoriasis. |
| Source |
Escherichia coli. |
| Molecular Weight |
Approximately 9.1 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 78 amino acids. |
| Biological Activity |
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biological activity determined by a chemotaxis bioassay using human peripheral blood neutrophils is in a concentration range of 20-200 ng/ml. |
| Appearance |
Sterile filtered white lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered concentrated solution in 2 × PBS, pH 7.4. |
| Endotoxin |
Less than 1 EU/ug of rPoIL-8/CXCL8 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. |
