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
CCL20, also named LARC (Liver and Activation-regulated Chemokine), is encoded by CCL20 located on chromosome 1 in mouse. The expression can be induced by LPS and some inflammatory cytokines, and it is at a high level in lymph nodes, PBL, fatal liver, fatal lung, appendix and so on. CCL20 has functions of chemotactic towards lymphocytes and dendritic cells. Additionally, it promotes the adhesion of memory CD4+ T cells and inhibits colony formation of bone marrow myeloid immature progenitors. CCL20 elicits it effects by binding with CCR6 receptor.
