Lymphotactin, Recombinant, Human (Small Inducible Cytokine Subfamily C Member 1, SCYC1, Chemokine C Motif Ligand 1, Ltn)

Chemokine (C motif) ligand (XCL1) is a small cytokine belonging to the XC chemokine family that is also known as lymphotactin. It is found in high levels in spleen, thymus, intestine and peripheral blood leukocytes, and at lower levels in lung, prostate gland and ovary. Cellular sources for XCL1 include activated thymic and peripheral blood CD8+ T cells. This chemokine attracts T cells. In humans, XCL1 is closely related to another chemokine called XCL2, whose gene is found at the same locus on chromosome 1. XCL1 induces its chemotactic function by binding to a chemokine receptor called XCR1.\nRecombinant human Lymphotactin is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 92 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 10007 Dalton.\n\nSequence:\nThe sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Gln-Ser-Glu-Val-Ser.\n\nBiological Activity:\nLymphotactin is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The Biological activity is calculated by its ability to chemoattract human T cells at 10.0-100.0ng/ml..\n\nProtein Content:\nProtein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods: \n1. UV spectroscopy at 280nm. \n2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a calibrated solution of Lymphotactin as a Reference Standard.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nLyophilized powder may be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Reconstitute to nominal volume by adding sterile ddH2O, 0.1% BSA or HSA, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
