I-309/CCL1 Protein, Human

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

CCL1 Protein, Human is a cytokine that mediates inflammatory immune responses, viral infections, and tumorigenesis by interacting with the CCR8 chemokine receptor on the cell surface and attracting monocytes, natural killer cells, and immature B-cell nuclear dendritic cells. I-309/CCL1 Protein, Human is a recombinant human CCL1 (K24-K96) expressed by E. coli.

Biological Activity

Description

CCL1 Protein, Human is a cytokine that mediates inflammatory immune responses, viral infections, and tumorigenesis by interacting with the CCR8 chemokine receptor on the cell surface and attracting monocytes, natural killer cells, and immature B-cell nuclear dendritic cells. I-309/CCL1 Protein, Human is a recombinant human CCL1 (K24-K96) expressed by E. coli[1].

Background

CCL1 is a small glycoprotein belonging to the CC chemokine family with a molecular weight of approximately 15-16 kDa, known as small inducible cytokine I-309 in humans and TCA-3 in mice. CCL1 is secreted by activated monocytes, macrophages, T lymphocytes and endothelial cells and is chemotactic for monocytes but not for neutrophils[1]. CCL1 can be activated by interaction with the cell surface chemokine receptor CCR8, which induces Ca2+ influx, stimulates transient increases in cytoplasmic free calcium concentration in monocytes, and inhibits apoptosis in thymocyte lines via the RAS/MAPK pathway. Among others, CCR8 is constitutively expressed in monocytes, macrophages, Th2 and regulatory T lymphocytes and is the sole receptor for the human CCL1 and for the viral chemokine, vCCL1 (viral macrophage inflammatory protein 1). CCR8 has been shown to be associated with phagocytic macrophages and activated microglia in MS lesions and is directly related to demyelinating activity[2]. CCL1 is involved in inflammatory processes through leukocyte recruitment and can play a key role in angiogenesis and other viral and neoplastic processes. A number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CCL1 gene have been associated with the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In parallel, CCL1 plays a role in various CNS functions and diseases and may be associated with neuroinflammatory disorders[3].

In Vitro

CCL1 (100 ng/mL, 3h) stimulates a 14-fold increase in human aortic smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) migration and induces VSMC chemotaxis. Also, it stimulates VSMC secretion of pro - MMP2 and induces MMP-2 mRNA[4].

Verified Bioactivity

1. Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biological activity determined by a chemotaxis bioassay using human T-lymphocytes is in a concentration range of 10.0-100.0 ng/mL.
2. Determined by its ability to chemoattract human monocytes population (THP-1). The ED50 for this effect is 64.65 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity is 1.547×104 U/mg.
