Biological Activity
TARC/CCL17 Protein, Human is the first CC chemokine identified to interact with T cells with high affinity and bind to the CCR4 receptor to mediate inflammation, cancer, and autoimmune related diseases. TARC/CCL17 Protein, Human is a recombinant human TARC/CCL17 (A24-S94) protein expressed by E. coli[1][2].
CCL17, also known as thymic and activating regulatory chemokine (TARC), is a powerful chemokine commonly associated with type 2 immune responses, and its encoding gene is located on chromosome 16 in humans. CCL17 can be produced by thymic and antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells, macrophages, and monocytes, and acts by binding to the cell surface chemokine receptor CCR4. CCR4 is a G protein-coupled receptor expressed as a chemokine receptor on Th2 cells, cutaneous lymphocytes skin-localized T cells and regulatory T cells, and also on T cells in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. CCR4 has an important role in the regulation of immune homeostasis and activation of innate immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS). CCL17 plays an important role in the recruitment of CCR4-positive Th2 lymphocytes, is involved in the transport of Th2 cells in eosinophil-associated diseases (including AA and AD) and may be involved in the transport of tumor cells in certain T-cell lymphomas.CCL17 is also thought to be a homeostatic and inducible neuromodulatory chemokine that maintains the typical highly branching morphology of hippocampal microglia under homeostatic conditions and promotes adaptation of microglia morphology to acute LPS-induced neuroinflammation. CCL17 is also associated with autoimmune and allergic disorders[1][2].
CCL17 (0-1 ng/mL) can significantly induce CD4+ CD25+ cell migration, but not CD4+ CD25-cell migration in a dose-dependent manner in the cells purified from regional lymph nodes of gastric cancer patients[3].
CCL17 (10-1,000 ng/mL, 12-48 h) can induce cell migration in human epithelial colon adenocarcinoma cell line HT-29 and is dependent on CCR4-mediated RhoA/Rho-kinase signaling, and CCL17-induced cell migration can be inhibited by preincubation with antibodies against CCR4 or antagonists against CCR4[4].
1.Full biological activity determined by a chemotaxis bioassay using human T-lymphocytes is in a concentration range of 1.0-10 ng/ml.
2.Measured by its ability to enhance Jurkat human lymphoma cells. The ED50 for this effect is 5.681 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity is 1.760×105 U/mg.
