rhMCP-1 Lyophilized. Lyophilized from sterile-filtered PBS, 50 µg BSA/µg MCP-1. Recombinant, human monocyte chemotactic protein-1 expressed in E. coli. A potent chemoattractant for human monocytes and mouse peritoneal macrophages. Its effects are proposed to be mediated by P2-integrins. Biological activity: ED50 = 5-20 ng/ml as measured by its monocyte chemotactic activity. Purity: ≥97% by SDS-PAGE. Contaminants: Endotoxins: ≤1 EU/µg MCP-1. Ref.: Hosang, K., et al. 1994. Biochem.
