Macrophage Inflammatory Protein 1 alpha, Recombinant, Mouse (MIP-1 alpha, CCL3)
10ug
Growth Factors, Cytokines Storage: -20°CShipping: Blue Ice
Source:
Recombinant corresponding to mouse MIP-1a expressed in E. coli.

Molecular Weight:
~8kD

Biological Activity:
ED50 range=3.0-10ng/ml, determined by the dose dependent chemotaxis of human THP-1 cells. The optimal concentration for each specific application should be determined by an initial dose-response assay.
