E.Coli
Catalog No.
CHM-340
Description :
Recombinant Porcine IL-8 produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 72 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 8291 Dalton.
Porcine IL-8 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance:
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation:
Lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in water containing no additives.
Solubility:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Porcine IL-8 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H
2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability:
Lyophilized Recombinant Porcine IL-8 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated
below -18
0C. Upon reconstitution Porcine IL-8 should be stored at 4
0C between 2-7 days and for future use
below -18
0C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity:
Greater than 95.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Anion-exchange FPLC.
(c) Analysis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE Silver Stained gel.
Dimers and aggregates:
Less than 1% as determined by silver-stained SDS-PAGE gel analysis.
Biological Activity:
ProSpec旧 Porcine IL-8 is fully biologically active when compared to standard.
The biological activity of IL-8 was determined by the dose dependent mobilization of
intracellular calcium (calcium flux) with human neutrophils and was found to be >1.0 ng/mL.
Endotoxin:
Less than 0.1 ng/ug (IEU/ug) of Porcine IL-8.
Protein content:
Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:
1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.638 as the extinction
coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE
computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics).
2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a standard solution of IL-8 as a Reference Standard.
Usage:
Prospec's products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drugs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals.
