Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 1 (CCL1) belongs to a family inflammatory cytokines and also known as chemokines. It is a small glycoprotein secreted by activated T cells with a molecular weight of approximately 8.5 kDa. CCL1 attracts monocytes, NK cells, and immature B cells and dendritic cells by interacting with a cell surface chemokine receptor called CCR8. Human CCL1 has been assumed to be a homologue of the mouse TCA3. While the two proteins share only approximately 42 % amino acid sequence identity, both chemokines contain an extra pair of cysteine residues not found in most other chemokines.
Source
Escherichia coli.
Molecular Weight
Approximately 8.6 kDa, a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 74 amino acids.
Biological Activity
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biological activity determined by a chemotaxis bioassay using human T-lymphocytes is in a concentration range of 10-100 ng/ml.
Appearance
Sterile filtered white lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered concentrated solution in 20 mM PB, pH 7.4, 100 mM NaCl.
Endotoxin
Less than 1 EU/ug of rHuI-309/CCL1 as determined by LAL method.
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.
Stability and Storage
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.- 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 °C as supplied.- 1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.- 3 months, -20 to -70 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
