Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-3 Beta Mouse Recombinant (CCL19)

Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 19 (CCL19) is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family that is also known as EBI1 ligand chemokine (ELC) and macrophage inflammatory protein-3-beta (MIP-3-beta). CCL19 is expressed abundantly in thymus and lymph nodes, with moderate levels in trachea and colon and low levels in stomach, small intestine, lung, kidney and spleen. The gene for CCL19 is located on human chromosome 9. This chemokine elicits its effects on its target cells by binding to the chemokine receptor chemokine receptor CCR7. It attracts certain cells of the immune system, including dendritic cells and antigen-engaged B cells.
Description Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-3 beta Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 83 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 9216 Dalton.
The MIP-3b is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
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-3b as a Reference Standard.
Synonyms Small inducible cytokine A19, CCL19, Macrophage inflammatory protein 3 beta, MIP-3- beta, EBI1-ligand chemokine, ELC, Beta chemokine exodus-3, CK beta-11, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 19, CKb11, MIP3B, MIP-3b, SCYA19, MGC34433, Epstein-Barr virus-induced molecule 1 ligand chemokine, EBI1-ligand chemokine.
Source Escherichia Coli.
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.
Purity >96% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Formulation Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
The CCL19 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 Activity is calculated by the ability to chemoattract Human mature dendritic cells using a concentration range of 8-80 ng/ml.
Solubility It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-3b 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.
