Product Specs

Introduction
Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 21 (CCL21), also called 6Ckine, exodus-2, and secondary lymphoid-tissue chemokine (SLC), is a small cytokine in the CC chemokine family. Unlike other CC chemokines, CCL21 primarily attracts lymphocytes and is mainly found in the lymph nodes. The gene responsible for CCL21 is found on chromosome 9 in humans. CCL21 interacts with a cell surface receptor called CCR7 to exert its effects.
Description
Recombinant Exodus-2 from mice, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. It contains 110 amino acids, has a molecular weight of 12kDa, and is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
White, sterile-filtered powder, freeze-dried.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 1 mg/ml solution in 20mM Phosphate buffer with 0.15M NaCl, at pH 7.4.
Solubility
Reconstitute the lyophilized Exodus-2 in sterile 18 MΩ-cm H2O to a concentration of at least 100 µg/ml. Further dilutions can be made in other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized Exodus-2 is stable at room temperature for up to 3 weeks. For long-term storage, store desiccated below -18°C. After reconstitution, store CCL21 at 4°C for 2-7 days. For future use, store below -18°C. Adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is recommended for extended storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Purity exceeds 97.0%, as determined by SDS-PAGE and RP-HPLC analysis.
Biological Activity
The biological activity is assessed by the ability to attract murine T cells within a concentration range of 10-100 ng/ml. This corresponds to a specific activity of 10,000-100,000 IU/mg.
Synonyms

Product Science Overview

Discovery and Structure

Exodus-2 was discovered independently by three groups from the EST (Expressed Sequence Tag) database . It shows 21-33% identity to other CC chemokines . The protein contains the four conserved cysteines characteristic of β chemokines, plus two additional cysteines in its unusually long carboxyl terminal domain .

Biological Activity

Exodus-2 is known for its ability to chemoattract T and B lymphocytes and inhibit hematopoiesis . It mediates the homing of lymphocytes to the lymphatic system, which is essential for the immune response . The biological activity of Exodus-2 has been determined through chemotaxis bioassays using murine T-lymphocytes, showing activity in a concentration range of 10.0-100.0 ng/ml .

Recombinant Production

Recombinant Mouse Exodus-2 is produced in E. coli and is a non-glycosylated protein monomer containing 110 amino acids with a molecular mass of approximately 12 kDa . The protein is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques to ensure high purity and low endotoxin levels .

Applications

Exodus-2 is used primarily for research purposes. It is not intended for human, animal, or diagnostic applications . Researchers utilize this chemokine to study immune cell migration, lymphocyte homing, and other aspects of the immune response.

Storage and Stability

The lyophilized product is stable for up to 6 months at -70°C or -20°C. Upon reconstitution, it remains stable for up to 1 week at 4°C or up to 3 months at -20°C, provided that repeated freeze-thaw cycles are avoided .
