purity :
>98%, as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
form :
Recombinant TARC was lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered 20mM PB,100mM NaCl solution pH 7.5.
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 :
Domain: IL8. Host Note: Optimized DNA sequence encoding Human TARC (CCL17) 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 CCL-17, generated by the proteolytic removal of the signal peptide. and propeptide and has a calculated molecular mass of approximately 8kDa. Recombinant TARC is a disulfide-linked monomeric protein consisting of 72 amino acid residue subunits and migrates as an approximately 8 kDa protein under non-reducing conditions and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE.

Cytokines
products description :
Thymus and activation- regulated chemokine (TARC) is a recently identified CC chemokine that is expressed constitutively in thymus and transiently in stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells. TARC functions as a selective chemoattractant for T cells that express a class of receptors binding TARC with high affinity and specificity.The chemokine TARC is a ligand for the chemokine receptor CCR4 expressed on T helper (Th) 2- type CD4 T cells.

uniprot summary :
Function: Chemotactic factor for T-lymphocytes but not monocytes or granulocytes. May play a role in T-cell development in thymus and in trafficking and activation of mature T-cells. Binds to CCR4. Ref.7. Subcellular location: Secreted. Tissue specificity: Expressed at high levels in thymus and at low levels in the lung, colon and small intestine. Induction: By phytohemagglutinin (PHA) in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells and by cytokines in monocytes. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the intercrine beta (chemokine CC) family. Caution: Was originally (Ref.6) thought to be a ligand for CCR8.
