MEC/CCL28 Protein, Rat

Cat. No.: HY-P7252
COA Handling Instructions

MEC/CCL28 Protein, Rat is a CC chemokine that is present in almost all mucosal tissues and acts as a unifying immunostimulant on mucosal surfaces. CCL28 can bind to CCR3 and CCR10 to mediate immune responses, viral infections, cancer, and antimicrobial effects. MEC/CCL28 Protein, Rat is a recombinant rat MEC/CCL28 (S20-R135) protein expressed by E. coli.

Description

MEC/CCL28 Protein, Rat is a CC chemokine that is present in almost all mucosal tissues and acts as a unifying immunostimulant on mucosal surfaces. CCL28 can bind to CCR3 and CCR10 to mediate immune responses, viral infections, cancer, and antimicrobial effects. MEC/CCL28 Protein, Rat is a recombinant rat MEC/CCL28 (S20-R135) protein expressed by E. coli[1][2].

Background

CCL28, also known as mucosal associated epithelial chemokine (MEC), CCK1, and SCYA28, is a chemokine. It is expressed in various mucosal sites, including salivary glands and mammary glands, trachea and colon, and small intestine. CCL28 has been classified as an important component chemokine in homeostasis lymphocyte transport and can bind to CCR3 and CCR10. Among them, CCL28 can chemotactic CCR10 expression of CD4 and CD8 T cell populations, as well as CCR3 expression of eosinophils migration. However, in the intestinal mucosa, few T cells express CCR10. In contrast, in the B-cell population, CCR10 can be selectively expressed by IgA plasma mother cells and IgA-secreting cells (i.e. plasma cells), which play a key role in homing plasma mother cells to extraintestinal effector sites[1]. CCL28 is constitutively expressed in the colon, but its levels can be increased by pro-inflammatory cytokines and certain bacterial products that play a role in effector cell recruitment to sites of epithelial injury.CCL28 can act as a unifying immunostimulant on the mucosal surface and is involved in the migration of IgA-expressing cells to the breast, salivary glands, intestine, and other mucosal tissues. In addition, CCL28 exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria as well as fungi, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Further studies also showed that the positively charged amino acids at the C-terminal end of CCL28 significantly contributed to the antibacterial activity of the protein, and its characteristic hydrophobicity and amphiphilicity also contributed to its killing activity[2].

Biological Activity

Purity
  • Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.
Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

  • Specific Activity Calculator

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
