Mouse Exodus-2 Recombinant

• Background:

  Exodus-2, which is a member of the family of CC- Chemokines, has a unique 36 (murine) or 37 (human) amino acid carboxyl-terminal extension not seen in other chemokines. Exodus-2 selectively stimulates the chemotaxis of adult T-lymphocytes and is expressed preferentially in lymph node tissue. Exodus-2 is critical for adult T-cell adhesion to high endothelial venules in lymph nodes, a rate-limiting step for T-cell trafficking through nodal tissue.

• Description:

  Recombinant mouse Exodus-2 is a disulfide-linked homodimeric protein consisting of 111 amino acid residues, and migrates as an approximately 12 kDa protein under non-reducing and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE. Optimized DNA sequence encoding murine Exodus-2 mature chain was expressed inE. coli.

• UniProt:

  P84444

• Endotoxin:

  < 0.1 ng/µg (1 EU/µg), using the LAL gel clot method.

• Purity:

  ≥ 95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC

• Format:

  Lyophilized protein

• Reconstitution:

  Reconstitute at 0.1-1.0 mg/ml in distilled water. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers. To maximize product collection from vial surface, vortex briefly and then spin down to recollect the liquid.

• Shipping Conditions:

  Gel Packs or Dry Ice

• Storage Conditions:

  The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt when stored at -20°C. Upon reconstitution, store in working aliquots at +4°C for up to one month, or at -20°C for up to six months, in the presence of a carrier protein. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

• Calculated Molecular Weight:

  12 kDa

• Formulation:

  Lyophilized from 0.2 µm filtered PBS solution.
