Recombinant Human C-C motif chemokine 18 (CCL18)

Alternative macrophage activation-associated CC chemokine 1 ; AMAC-1CC chemokine PAR; CDendritic cell chemokine 1 ; DC-CK1Macrophage inflammatory protein 4 ; MIP-4Pulmonary and activation-regulated chemokine; Small-inducible cytokine A18

Chotactic factor that attracts lymphocytes but not monocytes or granulocytes. May be involved in B-cell migration into B-cell follicles in lymph nodes. Attracts naive T-lymphocytes toward dendritic cells and activated macrophages in lymph nodes, has chotactic activity for naive T-cells, CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells and thus may play a role in both humoral and cell-mediated immunity responses.

If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

Macrophage inflammatory protein-3 and -4.Li H., Ruben S.Patent number US5504003, 02-APR-1996A novel human CC chemokine PARC that is most homologous to macrophage-inflammatory protein-1 alpha/LD78 alpha and chemotactic for T lymphocytes, but not for monocytes.Hieshima K., Imai T., Baba M., Shoudai K., Ishizuka K., Nakagawa T., Tsuruta J., Takeya M., Sakaki Y., Takatsuki K., Miura R., Opdenakker G., van Damme J., Yoshie O., Nomiyama H.J.

The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
