Synonyms
ABCD-2; CC chemokine TARC; C-C motif chemokine 17; CCL17; chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 17;
Description
Murine CCL17 is encoded by the CCL17 gene located on the chromosome 8. CCL17 is a secreted protein and expressed by thymus cells constitutively and phytohemagglutinin-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells transiently.
Molecular Weight
Approximately 7.9 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 70 amino acids.
AA sequence
ARATNVGREC CLDYFKGAIP IRKLVSWYKT SVECSRDAIV FLTVQGKLIC ADPKDKHVKKAIRLVKNPRP
Purity
> 97 % by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
Biological Activity
The biologically active determined by a chemotaxis bioassay using human T-lymphocytes is in a concentration range of 1.0-10 ng/ml.
Endotoxin
<1.0 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
Reconstitution
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
