Specification

Cat.No.

CSC-CTK0450

Description

Recombinant Human MCP-2 produced in E. coli is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain of 76 amino acids and a molecular mass of 8,904 Dalton.

Species

Human

Product Overview

Human CCL8 expressed in E.coli

Molecular Mass

8.9 kDa

Size

CAT# CSC-CTK0450-10 (10 μg); CAT# CSC-CTK0450-50 (50 μg)

Expression System

E.coli

Purity

Greater than 99% as determined by SDS-PAGE, FPLC and RP-HPLC analysis.

Activity

Recombinant MCP-2 is fully biologically active when compared to a standard. The specific activity is determined by the ability of MCP-2 to chemoattract human peripheral blood at a concentration of 10-100 ng/ml.

Endotoxin Level

Less than 1 EU/μg.

Formulation

Sterile-filtered, white, lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. Lyophilized from a concentrated (1 mg/ml), sterile solution with no additives.

Reconstitution

Please centrifuge product briefly before opening vial. The lyophilized protein should be reconstituted in sterile, ultra-pure water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. This solution can then be diluted into other aqueous buffers and stored at -20°C for future use.

Storage & Stability

The lyophilized protein, though stable at room temperature for up to 3 weeks, is best stored desiccated at -20°C. Reconstituted rHu MCP-2 should be used immediately or stored long-term in undiluted working aliquots at -20°C. For long-term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
