Product Overview
Tag | N/A |
Host Species | Canine |
Synonym | Interleukin-8, IL-8, C-X-C motif chemokine 8, IL8, CXCL8. |
Background | Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a chemokine expressed by macrophages and other cell types such as epithelial cells. It is also synthesized by endothelial cells, which store IL-8 in their storage vesicles, the Weibel-Palade bodies.When first encountering an antigen, the primary cells to encounter it are the macrophages who phagocytose the particle. Upon processing, they release chemokines to signal other immune cells to come in to the site of inflammation. IL-8 is one such chemokine. It serves as a chemical signal that attracts neutrophils at the site of inflammation, and therefore is also known as Neutrophil Chemotactic Factor. |
Description | Interleukin-8 Canine Recombinant expressed in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 79a.a. and having a molecular weight of 9.1kDa. The IL8 is purified by unique purification methods. |
Source | E.coli |
AA Sequence | AVLSRVSSEL RCQCIKTHST PFHPKYIKEL RVIDSGPHCE NSEIIVKLFN GNEVCLDPKE KWVQKVVQIF LKKAEKQDP. |
Purity | >95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
Endotoxin | <1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method. |
Bioactivity | The biological activity determined by a chemotaxis bioassay using human CXCR2 transfected murine BaF3 cells is in a concentration range of 0.15-0.75 ng/ml. |
Formulation | Lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in 1xPBS, pH 7.4. |
Stability | Recombinant protein is stable for 12 months at -70°C |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | Lyophilized IL-8 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IL8 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Target Details
Target Function | IL-8 is a chemotactic factor that attracts neutrophils, basophils, and T-cells, but not monocytes. It is also involved in neutrophil activation. It is released from several cell types in response to an inflammatory stimulus. |
Subcellular Location | Secreted. |
Protein Families | Intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family |
