Description : |
Chemokine (C motif) ligand (XCL1), as known as lymphotactin, is the only known member of the C-chemokine family and signals through the receptor XCR1, formally known as GPR5. The expression of lymphotactin is abundant in some activated T cells such as activated CD8+ T cells and other class I MHC restricted T cells. It is found in high levels in spleen, thymus, intestine and peripheral blood leukocytes, and at lower levels in lung, prostate gland and ovary. XCL1 induces its chemotactic function by binding to a chemokine receptor called XCR1. Recombinant Human XCL1 which is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chains containing 92 amino acids and it shares approximately 60 % amino acid sequence homology with the murine and rat protein. |

Storage : |
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 centigrade as supplied. 1 month, 2 to 8 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution. 3 months, -20 to -70 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution. |
Reconstitution : |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤-20 centigrade. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
