CCL24/Eotaxin-2 Protein, Human is a CC chemokine that interacts with the chemokine receptor CCR3 to induce eosinophil chemotaxis and mediate atopic diseases, parasitic infections and systemic diseases, as well as promote cellular transport and regulate inflammatory and fibrotic activities. CCL24/Eotaxin-2 Protein, Human is a recombinant human CCL24/Eotaxin-2 (V27-A104) protein expressed by E. coli.

Biological Activity

Description

CCL24/Eotaxin-2 Protein, Human is a CC chemokine that interacts with the chemokine receptor CCR3 to induce eosinophil chemotaxis and mediate atopic diseases, parasitic infections and systemic diseases, as well as promote cellular transport and regulate inflammatory and fibrotic activities. CCL24/Eotaxin-2 Protein, Human is a recombinant human CCL24/Eotaxin-2 (V27-A104) protein expressed by E. coli[1].

Background

CCL24, also known as eosinophil chemotactic protein 2 (eotaxin-2) and myeloid progenitor inhibitory factor 2 (MPIF-2), is a small cytokine of the CC chemokine family, located on chromosome 7 in the human genome. CCL24 is highly chemotactic for resting T lymphocytes and eosinophils and has low chemotactic activity for neutrophils, but not for monocytes and activated lymphocytes. By binding to its sole receptor CCR3, of which CCR3, is present mainly on eosinophils, but also on basophils, monocytes, Th2 lymphocytes, epithelial cells and airway smooth muscle. CCL24 mainly mediates atopic diseases, parasitic infections and systemic diseases, but also promotes cellular transport and regulates inflammatory and fibrotic activities[1][2].

In Vitro

CCL24 (human, 0.1-100 ng/mL, 48 h) stimulates apoptosis of DSC and is attenuated with increasing concentrations of CCL24,also promotes metaphase stromal cells (DSC)  proliferation at concentrations of 1 and 10 ng/mL[1].
CCL24 (25 ng/mL, 48 h) can induce LX-2 cell motility, significantly increase α-SMA expression and procollagen I secretion, thereby inducing a pro-fibrotic effect in human HSC[2].

In Vivo

CCL24 (human, 0.01-10 μg, intradermal injection) can induce the production of rubella and flare reactions in a dose-dependent manner, and eosinophil infiltration[3].

Verified Bioactivity

1.Full biological activity determined by a chemotaxis bioassay using human peripheral blood eosinophils is in a concentration of 50-100 ng/mL.
2.Determined by its ability to chemoattract BaF3 mouse pro-B cells transfected with mouse CCR3.The ED50 for this effect is 0.035 μg/mL, corresponding to a specific activity is 2.82×104 U/mg.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping
