Recombinant Mouse CXCL12 (SDF-1 beta)

• Description:

  SDF-1-alpha and SDF-1-beta are small cytokines belonging to the CXC- Chemokines. SDF-1 is identical with a chemokine reported to function as a pre-B-cell growth factor in the presence of IL-7 and isolated originally from a murine bone marrow stromal cell line. Human SDF-1-alpha and SDF-1-beta are encoded by a single gene and arise by alternative splicing. SDF-1 acts on lymphocytes and monocytes but not neutrophils in vitro and is a highly potent chemoattractant for mononuclear cells in vivo. In addition. SDF-1 also induces intracellular actin polymerization in lymphocytes. SDF acts as a chemoattractant for human hematopoietic progenitor cells expressing CD34 giving rise to mixed types of progenitors, and more primitive types. The chemotactic response is inhibited by pertussis toxin. Chemotaxis of CD34(+) cells in response to SDF is increased by IL-3 in vitro. SDF has been shown also to induce a transient elevation of cytoplasmic calcium in these cells.

  Recombinant Mouse Stromal Cell-Derived Factor-1 Beta (CXCL12)

• Gene ID:

  20315

• Accession Number:

  P40224

• Organism:

  Mouse

• 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 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 peripheral T cells activated with PHA and IL-2 using a concentration range of 5.0-40 ng/mL.

• Molecular Weight:

  8

• 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:

  Mouse SDF-1 beta was lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in 2.5% glycine, 0.5% sucrose, 0.01% Tween80, 5 mM Glutamic acid, pH 4.5.

• CAS Number:

  9000-83-3
