MIP-1a Antibody

MIP1 alpha and MIP1 beta, two closely related but distinct proteins, were originally co-purified from medium conditioned by a LPS-stimulated murine macrophage cell line. Mature mouse MIP1 alpha shares approximately 77% and 70% amino acid identity with human MIP1 alpha and mouse MIP1 beta, respectively. MIP1 proteins are expressed primarily in T cells, B cells, and monocytes after antigen or mitogen stimulation.

Produced from sera of rabbits pre-immunized with highly pure (>98%) recombinant hMIP-1a (human MIP-1 alpha) . Human MIP-1a specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography employing immobilized hMIP-1a matrix.

MIP-1a antibody is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20˚ C. The reconstituted antibody is stable for at least two weeks at 2-8˚ C. Frozen aliquots are stable for at least 6 months when stored at -20˚ C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
