Description

Introduction
MDC (CCL22) is a small cytokine that belongs to the CC chemokine family. CCL22 is one of several Cys-Cys (CC) cytokine genes clustered on the q arm of chromosome 16.
MDC shows chemotactic activity for natural killer cells, chronically activated T lymphocytes, monocytes and dendritic cells. On the other hand, MDC shows a mild activity for primary activated T lymphocytes and has no chemoattractant activity for neutrophils, eosinophils and resting T lymphocytes. MDC may also have a role in the trafficking of activated T lymphocytes to inflammatory sites and other aspects of activated T lymphocyte physiology. MDC interacts with cell surface chemokine receptors CCR4.
CCL22 is vastly expressed in macrophage and in monocyte-derived.dendritic cells, and thymus. CCL22 is also found in the lymph node, appendix, activated monocytes, resting and activated macrophages. Lower expression of CCL22 can be seen in the lung and the spleen and very weak expression in the small intestine. In the lymph node CCL22 is expressed in a mature subset of Langerhans' cells (CD1a+ and CD83+). Furthermore, CCL22 is expressed in atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis skin, and psoriasis, in both the epidermis and dermis. In addition, MDC has a role in hindering progression of lung cancer.

BP000279-CHM-250: Recombinant Human Macrophage-derived.Chemokine (CCL22)

Source: E. coli-derived.
Determined by its ability to chemoattract human T cells using a concentration range of 10-100 ug/ml corresponding to a Specific Activity of 1,000-10,000 IU/mg.
Purity > 97%, by SDS--PAGE and RP-HPLC.
Formulation: CCL22 filtered (0.4 um) and lyophilized from a concentrated solution containing 20 mM phosphate buffer & 500 mM NaCl pH-7.4.
Reconstitution: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized CCL22 in sterile 18 M?-cm H2O not less than 100 ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Product is not sterile! Please filter the product by an appropriate sterile filter before using it in the cell culture.

Shipping: The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature recommended below.
