IL 8 Human (1-72)

Interleukin-8 (1-72 a.a.) Human Recombinant (CXCL8)

Interleukin-8 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 72 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 8452 Dalton.
The IL-8 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Accession

P10145

Amino acid sequence

The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ser-Ala-Lys-Glu-Leu.

Biological Activity

Specific Activity of IL8 in chemotaxis of donor PBL neutrophils, threshold concentration corresponding to 10-100 ng/ml corresponding to a Specific Activity of 1,000-10,000IU/mg.

Formulation

The IL-8 was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in water containing no additives.

Physical Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Protein content

Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:
1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.85 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics).
2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a standard solution of IL-8 as a Reference Standard.

Purity

Greater than 98.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Interleukin-8 in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Source

Escherichia Coli.

Stability

Lyophilized Interleukin-8 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18oC. Upon reconstitution CXCL8 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.
