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 |
Epithelial cellderived neutrophilactivating peptide (ENA78) also known as C-X-C motif chemokine 5(CXCL5), is a small cytokine belonging to the CXC chemokine family. It is produced following stimulation of cells with the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 or tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Expression of CXCL5 has also been observed in eosinophils, and can be inhibited with the type II interferon, IFN-γ. This chemokine stimulates the chemotaxis of neutrophils possessing angiogenic properties. Full length CXCL5 (78 aa) is trimmed at the Nterminal end by cathepsin G and chymotrypsin to ENA-74 (74 aa) and ENA-70 (70aa), with the shortened forms showing increased potency relative to full length CXCL5. CXCL5can signal through the CXCR2 receptor. |
