The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ala-Ser-Val-Val-Thr.
The Biological activity is calculated by its ability to chemoattract CXCR2 transfected 293 cells using 10-100ng/ml corresponding to a Specific Activity of 10,000-100,000IU/mg.
The protein was lyophilized with no additives.
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Greater than 98.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized CXCL3 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Lyophilized GRO-gamma although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18oC. Upon reconstitution CXCL3 should be stored at 4oC between 2-7 days and for future use below -18oC. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
