Interleukin-8 Rhesus Macaque Recombinant
Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a chemokine produced by macrophages and other cell types such as epithelial cells. It is also synthesized by endothelial cells, which store IL-8 in their storage vesicles, the Weibel-Palade bodies.When first encountering an antigen, the primary cells to encounter it are the macrophages who phagocytose the particle. Upon processing, they release chemokines to signal other immune cells to come in to the site of inflammation. IL-8 is one such chemokine. It serves as a chemical signal that attracts neutrophils at the site of inflammation, and therefore is also known as Neutrophil Chemotactic Factor.
Description | IL 8 Rhesus Macaque Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 79 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 9.1kDa. The IL 8 Rhesus Macaque is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |

Source | Escherichia Coli. |
Amino Acid Sequence | AVLPRSAKEL RCECIKTYSK PFHPKFIKEL RVIESGPHCA NTEIIVKLSD GRELCLDPKE PWVQRVVEKF VKRAENQNP |
Purity | >96% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC |
Formulation | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. Lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4. |
Stability | The lyophilized form of the protein is stable at room temperature for 3 weeks and at -20°C for at least 2 years from the date of receipt. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C for no more than 7 days. The protein is stable at -20°C for six months. For long term storage, please store at -80°C and the addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Biological Activity | Determined by its ability to chemoattract human peripheral blood neutrophils using a concentration range of 50-150ng/ml, corresponding to a Specific Activity of 6,667-20,000IU/mg. |
Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized IL-8 in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
Usage | LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. |
