Description
CXCL11 also known as I-TAC is belonging to the CXC chemokine family. CXCL11, together with MIG and IP-10, constitute a subset of chemokines that are ligands for CXCR3, a chemokine receptor that is primarily expressed on activated Th1 cells and NK cells. Mouse CXCL11 also shares 36% and 29% aa sequence identity with mouse IP-10 (Crg-2) and mouse MIG, respectively. CXCL11 binds CXCR3 with a higher affinity than CXCL10, suggesting that CXCL11 has the potential to restrain inflammatory autoimmunity. Similar to CXCL10, CXCL11 has been shown to be a chemoattractant for IL-2-activated T-lymphocytes, but not for isolated T-cells, neutrophils or monocytes.CXCL11 is not only a major effector for T cell chemotaxis in the pathophysiology of neuroinflammatory disorders, but also plays a crucial role in migration of activating T cells during IFN-dominated immune responses.

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℃. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
