| Source | Escherichia Coli. |
| Physical Appearance and Stability | Lyophilized MCP-1 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CCL2 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. |
| Formulation and Purity | The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) sterile solution containing no additives. Greater than 98.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Application | |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 in sterile 18MO-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Biological Activity | ED50 =1-10ng/ml corresponding to a Specific Activity of 100,000-1,000,000IU/mg. The biological activity was determined by measuring the dose dependent chemotaxis with human THP-1 cells. The optimal concentration should be determined for each specific application by an initial dose-response assay. |
| Shipping Format and Condition | Lyophilized powder at room temperature. |
| Usage Statement | Our 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. |
