storage stability :
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20 degree C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2 degree - 8 degree C for one month, or at -20 degree C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
other info1 :
Host Note: Optimized DNA sequence encoding Human ITAC (CXCL11) mature chain was expressed in Escherichia Coli.
other info2 :
Endotoxin: Endotoxin content was assayed using a LAL gel clot method. Endotoxin level was found to be less than 0.1 ng/ug (1EU/ug). 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. Molecular Weight Note: Human ITAC, generated by the proteolytic removal of the signal peptide. and propeptide and has a calculated molecular mass of approximately 8 kDa. Recombinant CXCL11 is a disulfide-linked monomeric protein consisting of 74 amino acid residue subunits and migrates as an approximately 8 kDa protein under non-reducing conditions and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE.

products description :
The CXC chemokine ligand 11 (CXCL11) or IFN-inducible T- cell -chemoattractant (I- TAC) belongs to the CXC chemokine family characterized by the presence of 1 amino acid in between the 2 NH2-terminal cysteines. CXCL11 is produced by a variety of cells including leukocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells upon stimulation with interferons (IFNs). Simultaneous stimulation of fibroblasts or endothelial cells with IFN-gamma and interleukin-1b or the TLR3 ligand double-stranded RNA resulted in a synergistic increase of CXCL11 production. CXCL11 attracts activated T- helper 1 (Th1) lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells. Like CXCL9 or monokine induced by IFN- gamma (Mig) and CXCL10 or IFN-gamma-inducible protein- 10 (IP-10), CXCL11 signals through CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3).

ncbi summary :
Chemokines are a group of small (approximately 8 to 14 kD), mostly basic, structurally related molecules that regulate cell trafficking of various types of leukocytes through interactions with a subset of 7-transmembrane, G protein-coupled receptors. Chemokines also play fundamental roles in the development, homeostasis, and function of the immune system, and they have effects on cells of the central nervous system as well as on endothelial cells involved in angiogenesis or angiostasis. Chemokines are divided into 2 major subfamilies, CXC and CC. This antimicrobial gene is a CXC member of the chemokine superfamily. Its encoded protein induces a chemotactic response in activated T-cells and is the dominant ligand for CXC receptor-3. The gene encoding this protein contains 4 exons and at least three polyadenylation signals which might reflect cell-specific regulation of expression. IFN-gamma is a potent inducer of transcription of this gene. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
