What are Chemokines?
Chemokines are a class of cytokines responsible for the process of cell movement called chemotaxis. These small secreted signaling proteins act as chemical messengers on G-protein coupled chemokine receptors. In humans, there are over 40 chemokines and 18 chemokine receptors known to date.
As chemokines affect various physiological processes involving cell movement they are vital to our overall health and homeostasis. One important example is maintaining the body's defense mechanisms by guiding immune cells to specific sites in the body where they are needed to combat infections or address tissue damage. |
We specialize in producing biotinylated chemokines for various applications and assay design. We also can provide fluorescent chemokines, contact us for more info.
We validate each batch by conducting rigorous testing to ensure quality
Cells expressing endogenous CXCR4 were stimulated with increasing concentrations of SDF-1α after a 90-minute incubation with calcium dye at 37oC. The maximum response was plotted as a function of the ligand concentration.
|
Cells expressing recombinant CCR2 were assayed for migration through a transwell bare filter at various concentrations of MCP-3. The responses are expressed as the % of total input cells.
|
Quality is top priority and separates us from the rest.
We provide fully functional chemokines with the lowest endotoxin levels.
All products are manufactured and tested in US.
Flow Cytometry with Biotinylated Chemokines
A. Uptake of 20nM CXCL12-biotin by U937 cells in the presence (red trace) and absence (cyan) of a CXCR4 inhibitor, AMD 3100. U937 cells are not stained by streptavidin-PE in the absence of CXCL12-biotin (orange).
|
B. Uptake of 20nM CCL2-biotin by THP1 cells (dark green trace) is abolished by the addition of CCL7 (orange) but not CCL14 (light green), suggesting a CCR2-specific internalization. THP1 cells are not stained in the absence of CCL2-biotin (cyan).
