Mouse Anti Human Monoclonal.

Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a chemokine produced by macrophages and other cell types such as epithelial cells. It is also synthesized by endothelial cells, which store IL-8 in their storage vesicles, the Weibel-Palade bodies.
When first encountering an antigen, the primary cells to encounter it are the macrophages who phagocytosethe particle. Upon processing, they release chemokinesto signal other immune cells to come in to the site of inflammation. IL-8 is one such chemokine. It serves as a chemical signal that attracts neutrophilsat the site of inflammation, and therefore is also known as Neutrophil Chemotactic Factor.

r.Human IL-8.

Mouse IgG1.

Ion exchange.

1mg/ml in PBS (after reconstitution).

Antibody is shipped lyophilized at ambient temperature.

In lyophilized form, for long periods, store at 4C in a dry environment. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -20C.

Reconstitute with sterile H20. Mix gently, wash the sides of the vial and wait 30-60 seconds before use.

By direct ELISA, 1:20,000 dilution will yield >1.0 O.D using alkaline phosphatase conjugated rabbit anti-mouse Ig (Jackson Laboratories).
