| Description | Interleukin 8 (IL-8) is a chemotactic factor that attracts neutrophils, basophils, and T-cells, but not monocytes. It is also involved in neutrophil activation. It is released from several cell types in response to an inflammatory stimulus (Ref: SWISSPROT). |
| Batch No. | See product label |
| Unit size | 100 µg |
| Antigen | A synthetic peptide corresponding to a region (77-95 aa) from human Interleukin 8. |
| Antigen Location | 77-95 |
| Other Names | IL-8; Interleukin-8; C-X-C motif chemokine 8; Emoctakin; Granulocyte chemotactic protein 1; GCP-1; Monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor; MDNCF; Monocyte-derived neutrophil-activating peptide; MONAP; Neutrophil-activating protein; NAP-1; Protein 3-10C; T-cell chemotactic factor; |
| Accession | P10145 IL8_HUMAN; |
| Produced in | Rabbit |
| Applications | Western Blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). A concentration of 1.0 µg/ml is recommended for WB. Human Interleukin 8 (Isoform 1) has a predicted length of 99 amino acids and MW of 11 kDa. A concentration of 1.0 µg/ml is recommended for IHC to detect the protein in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues. Heat mediated antigen retrieval is required. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. |
| Specificity | The specificity of this antibody has been confirmed by WB and IHC against the antigen. |
| Antibody Against | Interleukin 8 |
