ReliaTech GmbH Specification/Data Sheet Anti-Human Exodus-2 20150223ML Product Specifications FOR RESEARCH ONLY! NOT FOR HUMAN USE! Cat.-no.: 102-P11 Size: Lot. No.: 100 µg According to product label Preparation: Produced from sera of rabbits pre-immunized with highly pure (>98%) recombinant human Exodus 2. Anti-human Exodus 2 specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography employing immobilized human Exodus 2 matrix. CCL21; ECL; SLC; CKb9; TCA4; 6Ckine; SCYA21 6C-kine or Exodus2 is a novel CC chemokine discovered independently by three groups from the EST database. 6C-kine, also named SLC (Secondary Lymphoidtissue Chemokine), and CCL21, shows 21 33% identity to other CC chemokines. 6C-kine contains the four conserved cysteines characteristic of β chemokines plus two additional cysteines in its unusually long carboxyl-terminal domain. Human 6C-kine cDNA encodes a 134 amino acid residue, highly basic, precursor protein with a 23 amino acid residue signal peptide that is cleaved to form the predicted 111 amino acid residue mature protein. Mouse 6C-kine cDNA encodes a 133 amino acid residue protein with a 23 residue signal peptide that is cleaved to generate the 110 residue mature protein. Human and mouse 6C-kine are highly conserved, exhibiting 86% amino acid sequence identity. 6Ckine is constitutively expressed at high levels in lymphoid tissues such as lymph nodes, spleen and appendix. In mouse, high levels of 6Ckine mRNA are also detected in the lung. The gene for human 6C-kine has been localized at human chromosome 9p13 rather than chromosome 17 where the genes of many human CC chemokines are clustered. The 6C-kine gene location is within a region of about 100 kb from the gene for MIP3β/ ELC, another novel CC chemokine. Unlike most CC chemokines, 6C-kine is not chemotactic for monocytes. Recombinant mouse 6Ckine is chemotactic in vitro for thymocytes and activated T cells. Recombinant human 6C-kine has been shown to be chemotactic for some human T cell lines, resting PBL, and cultured T cells expanded with PHA and IL2.

Target Background Synonyms (Target): Species reactivity Stability: The lyophilized antibody is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20°C. The reconstituted antibody is stable for at least two weeks at 2-8°C. Frozen aliquots are stable for at least 6 months when stored at -20°C. AVOID REPEATED FREEZE AND THAW CYCLES! Applications Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of human Exodus-2 (100.0 ng/ml), a concentration of 6.0 – 8.0 g/ml of this antibody is required. ELISA: To detect human Exodus-2 by direct ELISA (using 100l/well antibody solution) a concentration of at least 0.5g/ml of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant human Exodus-2. Western Blot: To detect human Exodus-2 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1 - 0.2 g/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hExodus-2 is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. NOTE: OPTIMAL DILUTIONS SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY EACH LABORATORY FOR EACH APPLICATION!
