Biological Activity
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biologically active determined by a chemotaxis bioassay using human monocytes is in a concentration range of 100-300ng/ml.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated solution in 2X PBS, pH7.4.
Endotoxin
Less than 1EU/μg of rMuMCP-3/CCL7 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
Murine CCL7, also known as MARC, is belonging to the CC chemokine family. It is encoded by the gene CCL7 and was isolated from a mouse mast cell line after Fc epsilon RI triggering by IgE plus antigen. Sequence comparisons suggest that MARC may be the mouse homologue of the human MCP-3 gene. Similar to the human system, MARC/FIC is postulated the murine MCP-3. The MCP-3 protein family signals through CCR2 expect MCP-1 and possess cross-reacts across species. CCL7/MCP3 has chemotactic fuction for monocytes and eosinophils, but not for neutrophils.
