MIP-4/CCL18 Protein, Human (P. pastoris, His)
The MIP-4/CCL18 protein selectively attracts lymphocytes, but not monocytes or granulocytes. It participates in the migration of B cells to follicles in lymph nodes and coordinates immune cell dynamics. MIP-4/CCL18 Protein, Human (P. pastoris, His) is the recombinant human-derived MIP-4/CCL18 protein, expressed by P. pastoris , with N-6*His labeled tag.

Storage: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.
Biological Activity
Description
The MIP-4/CCL18 protein selectively attracts lymphocytes, but not monocytes or granulocytes. It participates in the migration of B cells to follicles in lymph nodes and coordinates immune cell dynamics. MIP-4/CCL18 Protein, Human (P. pastoris, His) is the recombinant human-derived MIP-4/CCL18 protein, expressed by P. pastoris , with N-6*His labeled tag.
Background
MIP-4/CCL18 protein functions as a chemotactic factor with a specific affinity for lymphocytes, excluding monocytes or granulocytes. Its potential involvement in B-cell migration into B-cell follicles within lymph nodes suggests a role in orchestrating the cellular dynamics of immune responses. Furthermore, MIP-4/CCL18 plays a crucial role in attracting naive T-lymphocytes towards dendritic cells and activated macrophages in lymph nodes, exhibiting chemotactic activity for various T-cell subtypes, including naive T-cells, CD4+, and CD8+ T-cells. This broad chemotactic influence positions MIP-4/CCL18 as a potential player in both humoral and cell-mediated immunity responses, underscoring its multifaceted role in modulating immune cell trafficking and interactions within lymphoid tissues.
