Eotaxin-2 is produced by activated monocytes and T lymphocytes . The recombinant mouse Eotaxin-2 protein contains 93 amino acids and has a molecular weight of approximately 10.3 kDa . It is expressed in various tissues, including the jejunum and spleen, and can be induced in the lung by allergen challenge and interleukin-4 (IL-4) .
Eotaxin-2 selectively chemoattracts cells expressing the CCR3 receptor. These cells include eosinophils, basophils, Th2 T cells, mast cells, and certain subsets of dendritic cells . It displays chemotactic activity on resting T lymphocytes and has minimal activity on neutrophils . Additionally, Eotaxin-2 is a strong suppressor of colony formation by a multipotential hematopoietic progenitor cell line .
The lyophilized preparation of recombinant mouse Eotaxin-2 is stable at 2°C to 8°C but should be kept at -20°C for long-term storage, preferably desiccated . Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2°C to 8°C. For maximal stability, it is recommended to apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20°C, avoiding repeated freeze/thaw cycles .
