Endotoxin Level: Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng per μg (1 EU/μg).

Application Details

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Handling Advice: As with any protein, exposing Viral MIP-2 recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.

Storage: -20 °C

Storage Comment: The recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20 °C. Reconstituted Viral MIP-2 is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20 °C.

Expiry Date: 24 months

Target Details

Target: Viral MIP-2

Target Type: Viral Protein

Background: VMIP-2 is a chemokine analog encoded by human herpes virus, and has been shown to have antagonist activity towards several chemokine receptors. Recombinant vMIP-2 is a 7.9 kDa protein consisting of 70 amino acids including the four highly conserved cysteine residues present in CC chemokines.
