MIP-3 beta Recombinant Protein

MIP-3 beta is a CC chemokine that is expressed in the thymus, lymph nodes and in activated bone marrow stromal cells and signals through the CCR7 receptor. MIP-3 beta is a chemoattractant for T and B lymphocytes and myeloid progenitor cells. Human MIP-3 beta is active on murine cells. Recombinant murine MIP-3 beta is a 9.2 kDa protein containing 83 amino acid residues, including the four highly conserved cysteine residues present in CC chemokines.

The lyophilized MIP-3 beta recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20˚ C. Reconstituted MIP-3 beta is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20˚ C. As with any protein, exposing MIP-3 beta recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.
