Recombinant Viral Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-2

Cat No.

RP00002

Product Specifications

Product Type

Recombinant protein

Applications

Bioactivity, Endotoxin

Source

E. coli.

Purity

> 97 % by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.

Bioactivity

Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The specific activity is determined by the inhibitory effect on monocyte migration response to human MIP-1 alpha using a concentration range of 1.0μg-10.0μg/ml of viral MIP-2 will inhibit 25ng/ml of human MIP-1 alpha.

Endotoxin

Less than 1 EU/μg of rViMIP-2 as determined by LAL method.

Molecular Weight

Approximately 8.0 kDa, a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 70 amino acids.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in 20 mM PB, pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl.

Alternative Names

MIP-2, Viral

Storage

-20C

Reconstitution

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
