Recombinant Rat GRO-β/MIP-2/CXCL2 (rRtGRO-β/MIP-2/CXCL2)

Catalogue Numbers: PR3005-5, PR3005-25

Sizes: 5µg, 25µg

Source: Escherichia coli

Molecular Weight: 7.9 kDa, a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 73 amino acids.

Purity: >98% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.

Biological Activity: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. Determined by its ability to chemoattract total human neutrophils using a concentration range of 1.0-10.0 ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of ＞1 x 105 IU/mg.

Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2mm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.

AA Sequence: VVVASELRCQ CLTTLPRVDF KNIQSLt VTP PGPHCAQTEV IATLKDGHEV
CLNPEAPLVQ RIVQKILNKG KAN

Endotoxin: Less than 1EU/mg of rRtMIP-2/CXCL2 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.

Storage: This lyophilized preparation is stable for several weeks at 2-8°C, but should be kept at -20°C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8°C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20°C to -70°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Usage: This material is offered by USA Bioworld biotech for research, laboratory or further evaluation purposes. NOT FOR HUMAN USE. Made in China

Description: Rat GRO-beta/MIP-2/CXCL2 has been found to be expressed by cytokine stimulated rat alveolar macrophages and fibroblasts. Based on its protein and DNA sequences, GRO-beta/MIP-2 is a member of the alpha (CXC) subfamily of chemokines.
The protein sequence of rat GRO-beta/MIP-2 shares approximately 88% identity with murine MIP2. Characteristic of ELR containing CXC chemokines, GRO-beta/MIP-2 is known to be a potent chemotactic factor for rat neutrophils in vitro and in vivo.
