Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biological activity determined by a chemotaxis bioassay using human peripheral blood neutrophils is in a concentration range of 1.0-10.0ng/ml.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated solution in 20mM PB, pH7.4, 50mM NaCl.
Endotoxin
Less than 1EU/μg of rHuNAP-2/CXCL7 as determined by LAL method.
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 0.1-1.0mg/ml. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤-20℃. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.

Background
Neutrophil activating protein-2 also named CXCL7 is an isoform of Beta-Thromboglobulin or Pro-Platelet basic protein. It belongs to the CXC chemokine family and is released in large amounts from platelets following their activation. CXCL7 stimulates DNA synthesis, mitosis, glycolysis, intracellular cAMP accumulation, prostaglandin E2 secretion, and synthesis of hyaluronic acid and sulfated glycosaminoglycan. It also stimulates the formation and secretion of plasminogen activator by human synovial cells. Recombinant human CXCL7 contains 70 amino acids which is a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. In addition, The human CXCL7 shares 53% and 58%a.a. sequence identity with mouse and rat CXCL7.
