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 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
Buffer
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4.
Conseil sur la manipulation
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Stock
4 °C/-20 °C
Stockage commentaire
This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 °C, but should be kept at -20 °C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8 °C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 °C to -70 °C.
Thymus and activation regulated chemokine (TARC) is a novel CC chemokine, also called CCL17, recently identified using a signal sequence trap method. CCL17 cDNA encodes a highly basic 94 amino acid (a.a.) residue precursor protein with a 23 a.a. residue signal peptide that is cleaved to generate the 71 a.a. residue mature secreted protein. Among CC chemokine family members, CCL17 has approximately 24 - 29 % amino acid sequence identity with RANTES, MIP-1alpha, MIP-1beta, MCP-1, MCP-2, MCP-3 and I-309. CCL17 is constitutively expressed in thymus, and at a lower level in lung, colon, and small intestine. CCL17 is also transiently expressed in stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Recombinant CCL17 has been shown to be chemotactic for T cell lines but not monocytes or neutrophils. CCL17 was recently identified to be a specific functional ligand for CCR-4, a receptor that is selectively expressed on T cells.
