Recombinant Human Interleukin-8/IL-8 (Ala23-Ser99)

Source: E.coli. MW :8.9kD. Recombinant Human Interleukin-8 is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Ala23-Ser99 is expressed. Interleukin-8 (IL-8) belongs to the neutrophil-specific CXC family of chemokines. It is one of the initial cytokines released from a variety of cell types, including T cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts, in response to an inflammatory stimulus and acts by recruiting neutrophils, T-cells and basophils to the site of inflammation. Elevated Interleukin-8 levels are associated with the onset of a variety of disease states.
