Lymphotactin Human Recombinant (XCL1)

Chemokine (C motif) ligand (XCL1) is a small cytokine belonging to the XC chemokine family that is also known as lymphotactin. It is found in high levels in spleen, thymus, intestine and peripheral blood leukocytes, and at lower levels in lung, prostate gland and ovary. Cellular sources for XCL1 include activated thymic and peripheral blood CD8+ T cells. This chemokine attracts T cells. In humans, XCL1 is closely related to another chemokine called XCL2, whose geneis found at the same locus on chromosome 1. XCL1 induces it chemotactic function by binding to a chemokine receptor called XCR1.
Description Lymphotactin Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single,non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 92 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 10007 Dalton.
The Lymphotactin is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms XCL1, Cytokine SCM-1, ATAC, Lymphotaxin, SCM-1-alpha, Small inducible cytokine C1, XC chemokine ligand 1, LTN, LPTN, SCM1, SCM-1, SCYC1, SCM-1a.
Source Escherichia Coli.
Amino Acid Sequence The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Gln-Ser-Glu-Val-Ser.
Purity >96% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Formulation Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
The XCL1 was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in water containing no additives.
Stability The lyophilized form of the protein is stable at room temperature for 3 weeks and at -20°C for at least 2 years from the date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C for no more than 7 days. The protein is stable at -20°C for six months. For long term storage, please store at -80°C and the addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Biological Activity The Biological activity is calculated by its ability to chemoattract human T cells at 10-100ng/ml corresponding to a Specific Activity of 10,000-100,000IU/mg.
Solubility It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Lymphotactin in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Usage LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
