Anti-IP-10 (Interferon gamma Inducible Protein, CXCL10), clone 6A585

Interferon-gamma-inducible 10kD protein (IP-10), is a CXC chemokine with chemoattractant properties for CD4-positive T cells and inhibits early normal and leukemic hemopoietic progenitor proliferation. IP-10 is produced by a wide variety of cell types ranging from neutrophils and monocytes to hepatocytes, endothelial cells and keratinocytes. The cytokine is reported to be involved in a scala of inflammatory pathologies such as HIV, encephalitis, cutaneous T cell lymphoma, chronic hepatitis and acute anterior uveitis. Various observations strongly suggest a role for the CXC chemokines IL-8 and IP-10 in the regulation of angiogenic activity in cancer and in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry, Immunofluoresence and ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry: 1:50 For intracellular staining activated plasmacytoid dendritic cells were fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.5% saponin. All steps were performed in presence of 0.5 M EDTA to avoid cell aggregation , Western Blot: 1:50 ~9kD, Immunohistochemistry (frozen): 1:50 Tissue sections were fixed 10 minutes in acetone and pretreated with avidin/biotin blocking kit. As positive control chronically inflamed liver was used and as negative control normal liver and isotype matched antibody, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Positive Control: Activated plasmacytoid dendritic cells , Negative Control: Normal liver, Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
