Description
MIP-3β is a CC chemokine, expressed in the thymus, lymph nodes, and in activated bone marrow stromal cells that signals through the CCR7 receptor. MIP-3β is a chemoattractant for T and B lymphocytes, and myeloid progenitor cells. Human MIP-3β is active on murine cells. Recombinant Murine MIP-3β is a 9.2 kDa protein containing 83 amino acid residues, including the four highly conserved cysteine residues present in CC chemokines.

Biological Activity
Determined by its ability to chemoattract human mature dendritic cells using a concentration range of 10.0–100.0 ng/ml.
Endotoxin
Endotoxin level is <0.1 ng/μg of protein (<1EU/μg).
Reconstitution
Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1–1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2–8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at –20°C to –80°C.
Storage/Expiration
–20°C
