| Description : |
CCL25 (thymus expressed chemokine) is a novel CC chemokine that is distantly related (approximately 20% amino acid sequence identity) to other CC chemokines. Mouse CCL25 cDNA has also been cloned and shown to encode a 144 aa protein that exhibits 49% aa sequence identity to human CCL25. The expresssion of human and mouse CCL25 was shown to be highly restricted to the thymus and small intestine. Although dendritic cells have been demonstrated to be the source of CCL25 production in the thymus, dendritic cells derived from bone marrow do not express CCL25. |

| Endotoxin : |
Less than 1 EU/μg of rHuTECK/CCL25 as determined by LAL method. |
| Purity : |
>97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses. |
| Storage : |
This lyophilized preparation is stable for several weeks at 2-8 centigrade, but should be kept at -20 centigrade for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8 centigrade. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 to -70 centigrade. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. |
| Storage Buffer : |
Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated solution in 20mM PB, pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl. |
| 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. |
