Recombinant Human LEC (CCL16)

Recombinant Human LEC (CCL16)

• Description: CCL16 is a CC chemokine that specifically attracts lymphocytes, dendritic cells, and monocytes; increases their adhesive properties and has myelosuppressive activity. It is constitutively expressed in liver and is increased by interleukin 10 (IL-10) in activated monocytes. CCL16 is present in human plasma suggesting that it may be active outside hepatic tissue. CCR1, CCR2, CCR5, and CCR8 are the functional receptors of this chemokine.

• Gene ID: 6360
• Accession Number: O15467
• Organism: Human
• Source: E. coli
• Concentration: <1.0 EU/μg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method.
• Purity: >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE
• Solubility: A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in sterile distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.
• Function: Determined by its ability to chemoattract human monocytes using a concentration range of 2.0-40 ng/mL.
• Molecular Weight: 11
• Shipping Conditions: Ambient Temperature
• Storage Conditions: The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
• Appearance: Lyophilized Powder
• Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered 20 mM PBS, 100 mM NaCl solution pH 7.5
