| Description : |
Murine CCL12 is belonging to the CC chemokine family. It shows 66 % amino acid sequence identity to human MCP-1. CCL12 has been shown to be a potent chemoattractant for monocytes and lymphocytes but not neutrophils. At high concentrations, it will also chemoattract eosinophils. CCL12 can induce a calcium flux in human HEK-293 cells transfected with murine CCR2, but can not induce a calcium flux in HEK-293 cells transfected with CCR1, CCR3, or CCR5. That shows the functional receptor of CCL12 is CCR2. |

>95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analysis. |
| 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. |
