Description
Mouse Lungkine/CXCL15, also named WECHE, is a member of the ELR motif-containing CXC chemokines. Mouse Lungkine shares 35% aa sequence identity with human ENA-78 and 31% identity with human IL-8. CXCL15 is a novel CXC chemokine that is highly expressed in the adult mouse lung. CXCL15 has suppressive activity on proliferation and expansion of multi-potential, erythroid, granulocyte and macrophage progenitors in S-phase specific manner. Lungkine protein is secreted into bronchoalveolar space and is involved in lung-specific neutrophils trafficking. Lungkine is also chemotactic for bone marrow progenitor cells and modulates hematopoietic cell differentiation.

Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4, with 0.02% Tween-20. |
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℃. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
Shipping and Storage
The products are shipped with ice pack and can be stored at -20℃ to -80℃ for 1 year.
Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities when first used and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Cautions
