Description
Mouse lymphotactin (Lptn) and its human homologue (also named human SCM-1 and ATAC) belong to the C or gamma subfamily of chemokines. The C chemokines lack two (the 1st and 3rd) of the four invariant cysteine residues normally found in the CC and CXC chemokines and have an extended carboxy terminus. Mouse lymphotactin encodes a 114 amino acid residue precursor protein with a 21 amino acid residue predicted signal peptide. The expression of lymphotactin is restricted to activated mouse pro-T cells and to activated, class I MHC restricted T cells. The gene for lymphotactin has been mapped to chromosome 1 in both human and mouse. Recombinant mouse lymphotactin has been shown to have chemotactic activity for lymphocytes, NK cells and mouse splenocytes.

Reconstitution |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
Shipping and Storage
