The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be, Ala-Pro-Tyr-Gly-Ala.
The Activity is calculated by the ability to chemoattract of Balb3/C splenocytes using 1-10ng/ml corresponding to a Specific Activity of 10,000-100,000IU/mg.
The protein was lyophilized from 1mg/ml solution containing no additives.
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Greater than 99.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1a in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Lyophilized MIP-1a although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18oC. Upon reconstitution CCL3 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.
