Recombinant Human IL-8 / CXCL8 Protein, His Tag, 100 µg

Background
Interleukin 8 (IL8 or chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 8, CXCL8) is a chemokine produced by macrophages and other cell types such as epithelial cells, airway smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. There are many receptors on the surface membrane capable of binding IL-8, the most frequently studied types are the G protein-coupled serpentine receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2. Expression and affinity for IL-8 differs between the two receptors (CXCR1 > CXCR2). IL-8(6-77) has a 5-10-fold higher activity on neutrophil activation, IL-8(5-77) has increased activity on neutrophil activation and IL-8(7-77) has a higher affinity to receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2 as compared to IL-8(1-77), respectively.

Source
Recombinant Human IL-8,  His Tag, premium grade(IL8-H52H3) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Ser 28 - Ser 99 (Accession # P10145-1).
Predicted N-terminus: Ser 28
Human IL-8 Protein, His Tag, premium grade (IL8-H52H3), designed for preclinical stage, has the same activity and performance with GMP Human IL-8 Protein, which enables a seamless transition from preclinical development to clinical phases. Premium Grade product offer a cost efficient alternative of GMP Grade products for the early development phase when safety of raw materials is not top priority. By using Premium Grade products in early development phase, you can transition easily into clinical and commercial phase without need to revalidate the raw materials and modify manufacturing process.

Molecular Characterization
This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.
The protein has a calculated MW of 10.3 kDa. The protein migrates as 13 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

Endotoxin
Less than 0.1 EU per μg by the LAL method.

Sterility
The sterility testing was performed by membrane filtration method.

Mycoplasma
Negative.

Purity
>90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4 with trehalose as protectant.

Reconstitution
Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions.
For best performance, we strongly recommend you to follow the reconstitution protocol provided in the CoA.

Storage
