Cat. No.	Z100645
Name	Recombinant Human MCP-4 (CCL13) (E. coli)
Description	Monocyte Chemoattractant Proteins 4 (MCP-4/CCL13) is member of a distinct, structurally-related subclass of CC chemokines. MCP-4/CCL13 is a major chemoattractants for eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, and T lymphocytes. The MCP protein family bind to specific G-protein-coupled receptors, initiating a signal cascade within the cell. Expression of MCP-4/CCL13 mRNA and protein is greater in the sputum, epithelium, submucosal inflammatory cells, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of asthmatics than in healthy individuals. Involvement of MCPs has also been demonstrated in renal inflammation and atopic dermatitis. The expression of this protein is also correlated with enhanced inflammatory immune responses during immunotherapy. The recombinant construct corresponds to the “short-chain” of CCL13 spanning amino acids 24 – 98.

Source	E. coli
Species	Human (H. sapiens)
Appearance	Lyophilized Powder
Molecular Weight	9 kDa
Endotoxin Level	<1.0 EU/µg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method.
Purity	>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE
Formulation	Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PB, 100mM NaCl, pH 7.5
Function	Determined by its ability to chemoattract human monocytes using a concentration range of 20-40 ng/mL.
Reconstitution	A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.
Storage	The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Usage	For research use only. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
Material Citation	If use of this material results in a scientific publication, please cite the material in the following manner: Applied Biological Materials Inc, Cat. No. Z100645

How do I choose the right growth factor for my experiment?

Cell type: Different cells respond to different growth factors. Choose a growth factor that promotes the growth or differentiation of your target cell type.
Desired outcome: Whether you are studying proliferation, differentiation, or survival, different growth factors will promote different cellular behaviors.
Concentration and formulation: Different experiments may require varying concentrations of growth factors.
