Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biological activity determined by a chemotaxis bioassay using human peripheral blood eosinophils is in a concentration of 50-100ng/ml.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated solution in 20mM PB, pH7.4, 150mM NaCl.
Endotoxin
Less than 1EU/μg of rHuEotaxin-2/CCL24 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
CCL24 is a secreted protein, encoded by CCL24 gene in humans located on Chr.7, and produced by activated monocytes and T lymphocytes. CCL24 has functions of chemotactic activity for resting T-lymphocytes and eosinophils, but none for monocytes and activated lymphocytes. The plasma levels of CCL24 and the aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (such as asthma) morbidity rate have positive correlation.
