Reconstitution |
It is recommended that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute the lyophilized powder in ddH₂O or PBS up to 100 μg/ml. |
Storage & Stability |
Upon receiving, this product remains stable for up to 6 months at lower than -70°C. Upon reconstitution, the product should be stable for up to 1 week at 4°C or up to 3 months at -20°C. For long term storage it is recommended that a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) be added. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
Target Background |
Myeloid progenitor inhibitory factor 1 (MPIF-1), also known as Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 23 (CCL23) is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family.MPIF-1is predominantly expressed in lung and liver tissue, but is also found in bone marrow and placenta. It is also expressed in some cell lines of myeloid origin. It is highly chemotactic for resting T cells and monocytes and slightly chemotactic for neutrophils. MPIF-1 has been shown to inhibit colony formation of bone marrow myeloid immature progenitors. It has also been attributed to an inhibitory activity on hematopoietic progenitor cells. MPIF-1 is a ligand for the chemokine receptor CCR1. |
