Macrophage Derived Chemokine (MDC), murine recombinant (rmMDC)

Source: , Recombinant corresponding to 68aa from mouse Macrophage Derived Chemokine expressed in E. coli. Molecular Weight: ~7.8kD, Biological Activity: The biological activity of MDC was determined by measuring its ability to chemoattract total murine T cells. A concentration range of 10-100ng/ml is found to produce significant chemotaxis. MDC is a member of the b chemokine (C-C) family. MDC is produced by macrophages and monocyte-derived dendritic cells, but is not produced by monocytes, NK cells, or cell lines of epithelial, endothelial, or fibroblast origin. Endotoxin: ~0.1ng/ug , Storage and Stability:, Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile dH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
