Mouse Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-3 beta (CCL19), (Recombinant)

Recombinant Mouse Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-3 beta (MIP-3b/CCL19)

Source: E.Coli

Description: Recombinant Mouse MIP-3beta produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 83 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 9216 Dalton. Recombinant MIP-3b is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Formulation: Lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in water containing no additives.

Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Mouse MIP-3 b in sterile 18MO-cm H2O not less than 100 g/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Stability: Lyophilized MIP-3beta although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -180C. Upon reconstitution murine MIP-3b should be stored at 40C between 2-7 days and for future use below -180C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Purity: Greater than 95.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Anion-exchange FPLC. (c) Analysis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE Silver Stained gel.

Amino acid sequence: The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be, Gly-Ala-Asn-Asp-Ala.

Dimers and aggregates: Less than 1% as determined by silver-stained SDS-PAGE gel analysis.

Biological Activity: Recombinant MIP-3 beta is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The Activity is calculated by the ability to chemoattract Human mature dendritic cells using a concentration of 10-100 ng/ml.

Endotoxin: Less than 0.1 ng/ g (IEU/ g) of MIP-3b.

Protein content: Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods: 1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.91 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics). 2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a calibrated solution of MIP-3beta as a Reference Standard.
