ActoFactor™ Recombinant Mouse Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 13

Specification

Cat.No.

CSC-CTK0732

Description

BCA-1/BLC, a CXC chemokine, is expressed in the liver, spleen, lymph nodes, appendix and stomach. It exerts its activities through its only receptor CXCR5. BCA-1/BLC is a potent chemoattractant for B lymphocytes and induces weak chemotactic response in T cells and macrophages. It manifests no activity on neutrophils and monocytes. Recombinant murine BLC is a 9.8 kDa protein containing 88 amino acid residues including the four highly conserved cysteine residues present in CXC chemokines.

Endotoxin Level

Less than 1 EU/μg.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a sterile-filtered solution with no additives.

Reconstitution

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

Storage & Stability

The lyophilized powder, though stable at room temperature for up to 3 weeks, is best stored desiccated at -20°C. Reconstituted BCA-1 should be used immediately or stored in undiluted working aliquots at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze / thaw cycles.
