The CCL4L1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Product Specs

Introduction
CCL4L1 (C-C motif chemokine 4-like) belongs to the intercrine beta (chemokine CC) family. This protein shares similarities with CCL4, known to inhibit HIV replication in CCR5-expressing peripheral blood monocytes.
Description
LAG-1 Human Recombinant, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain comprising 69 amino acids. With a molecular weight of 7.8 kDa, it undergoes purification using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
LAG-1 was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered solution concentrated in PBS with a pH of 7.4.
Solubility
For reconstitution of lyophilized LAG-1, it is recommended to use sterile 18M-cm H₂O at a concentration not less than 100µg/ml. Further dilutions can be made using other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized LAG-1 remains stable at room temperature for up to 3 weeks; however, it is recommended to store it desiccated below -18°C. After reconstitution, CCL4L1 should be stored at 4°C for 2-7 days. For long-term storage, keep it below -18°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Purity exceeds 95.0% as determined by: (a) RP-HPLC analysis. (b) SDS-PAGE analysis.
Biological Activity
The ED₅₀, determined through a cell proliferation assay using human CCR5 transfected murine BaF3 cells, is less than 2.0 ng/ml. This corresponds to a specific activity greater than 5.0 x 10⁵ IU/mg.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Composition

LAG-1 is a small protein with a molecular weight of approximately 7.7 kDa . It consists of 69 amino acid residues . The protein is nearly identical to MIP-1β (ACT II isotype), differing only by two amino acid substitutions: arginine for histidine at position 22 and serine for glycine at position 47 .

Biological Functions

LAG-1 is known for its ability to chemoattract monocytes and other immune cells . It is also recognized for its activity as an HIV-suppressive factor . By interacting with the CCR5 receptor, LAG-1 can attract lymphocytes, NK cells, and immature dendritic cells to sites of inflammation .

Production and Purification

Recombinant human LAG-1 is typically produced in E. coli . The protein is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques to ensure high purity, often exceeding 98% as determined by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses .

Applications in Research

LAG-1 is widely used in research related to AIDS/HIV, chemotaxis, and the immune system . Its ability to attract immune cells makes it a valuable tool for studying inflammatory responses and immune cell migration.

Stability and Storage

Recombinant LAG-1 is usually lyophilized and can be reconstituted in sterile PBS. It is stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -70°C . After reconstitution, it should be stored under sterile conditions at 2 to 8°C for up to one month or at -20 to -70°C for up to three months .
