Growth Factors, Cytokines

Storage: -20°CShipping: Blue Ice

Recombinant mouse MIP-1a is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 69 amino acids and having a molecular weight of 7.82kD. The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined to be Ala-Pro-Tyr-Gly-Ala. Contains less than 1% dimers and aggregates.

Biological Activity:
The activity is calculated by the ability to chemoattract Balb3/c splenocytes using a concentration of 1–10ng/ml.

Storage and Stability:
Lyophilized powder may be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Reconstitute to nominal volume by adding sterile dH2O and store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

Source: E. coli
Purity: 98% (HPLC, FPLC, and reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE). Endotoxin level is less than 0.1ng/ug (IEU/ug). Purified by chromatographic techniques.
Concentration: As reported
Form: Supplied as a lyophilized powder. No preservatives added. Reconstitute using sterile deionized water to a concentration 100ug/ml. Further dilutions can be made in other aqueous buffers.
