Human Biotin-CCL19 (MIP-3β)
|
BACKGROUND
Macrophage inflammatory protein-3-beta (MIP3β) (CCL19), also known as EBI1 ligand chemokine (ELC), directs chemotaxis of dendritic cells, and certain B- and T- lymphocytes, but not monocytes or granulocytes. It is constitutively expressed in thymus and lymph nodes and binds specifically to target cells expressing the receptor CCR7. Being a homeostatic chemokine, its primary physiological role is considered to be in the normal recirculation and homing of lymphocyte. However, MIP-3β could also be proinflammatory, and is implicated in the post-HIV infection responses. Also available unlabeled: Wildtype Human CCL19 |

Shipping: Room Temp Stability and Storage: Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. • 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 °C as supplied. • ChemoTactics suggests using immediately after reconstitution. • 1 month, -20 to -70 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution. |
Migration Assay: Cells expressing recombinant CCR7 were assayed for migration through a transwell filter at various concentrations of WT or Biotinylated MIP-3β. Responses are expressed as the % of total input cells (Blue: wild type; Red: biotinylated).
Migration Assay Protocol 
Activity: EC50 = 15-30 nM determined by migration assay with cells expressing recombinant CCR7
