XCL1, also known as lymphotactin, is an inflammatory chemokine secreted by T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. Early reports described XCL1 as a mediator of T cell and NK cell migration, but recent studies suggest a highly specialized role for XCL1 and its receptor XCR1. The XCL1-XCR1 axis has been shown to play an important role in the dendritic cell mediated cytotoxic immune response and in the formation of self-tolerance mechanisms through the development of regulatory T cells within the thymus. XCL1 also acts as a conformation-dependent inhibitor of HIV-1. Unlike other chemokines, XCL1 conformation interchanges between conserved chemokine folds and an unrelated dimeric structure under physiological conditions. The XCL1 monomer binds XCR1 with a high affinity, whereas the dimer form binds glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) with a high affinity, but fails to activate XCR1.
Product Details
- Source
- Mouse XCL1, amino acid Val22-Gly114 (accession #AAA56752.1), was expressed in E. coli.
- Molecular Mass
- The 93 amino acid recombinant protein has a predicted molecular mass of approximately 10.1 kD. The DTT-reduced and non-reduced protein migrates at approximately 12 kD and 15 kD respectively by SDS-PAGE. The predicted N-terminal amino acid is Val.
- Purity
- >98%, as determined by Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE.
- Formulation
- 0.22 μm filtered protein solution is in PBS pH 7.2.
- Endotoxin Level
- Less than 0.10 EU per μg cytokine as determined by the LAL method.
- Concentration
- 10-25 µg sizes are bottled at 200 µg/mL.
- Storage & Handling
- Unopened vial can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to 2 weeks, at -20°C for up to six months, or at -70°C or colder until the expiration date. For maximum results, quick spin vial prior to opening. The protein can be aliquoted and stored at -20°C or colder. Stock solutions can also be prepared at 50 - 100 µg/mL in appropriate sterile buffer, carrier protein such as 0.2 - 1% BSA or HSA can be added when preparing the stock solution. Aliquots can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to one week and stored at -20°C or colder for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
- Activity
- The ED50 is 0.2 -1.2 ng/mL, as measured by its ability to chemoattract Ba/F3 mouse pro B cells transfected with human XCR1.
