| Description: |
Recombinant Human MIP-1α produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 70 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 7820 Dalton.
rHuMIP-1α is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
|
| Source: |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Physical Appearance: |
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
|
| Formulation: |
The protein was lyophilized from 0.55mg/ml solution containing no additives.
|
| Solubility: |
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized MIP-1α in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
|
| Stability: |
Lyophilized MIP-1α although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 °C. Upon reconstitution MIP-1α should be stored at 4 °C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18 °C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
|
| Purity: |
Greater than 98.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Anion-exchange FPLC.
(c) Analysis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE Silver Stained gel.
|
| Amino acid sequence: |
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be,
Ala-Ser-Leu-Ala-Ala.
|
| Dimers and aggregates: |
Less than 1% as determined by silver-stained SDS-PAGE gel analysis.
|
| Biological Activity: |
ProSpec's rHuMIP-1α is fully biologically active when compared to standard.
The Activity is calculated by the ability of chemo-attraction of Human monocytes using
1-10 ng/ml.
|
| Endotoxin: |
Less than 0.1 ng/µg (IEU/µg) of rHuMIP-1α .
|
| Protein content: |
Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:
UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.9 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).
Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a calibrated solution of MIP-1α as a Reference Standard. |
| Usage: |
This material is offered for research, laboratory or further manufacturing purposes.
