Description
Thymus and Activation Regulated Chemokine (CCL17) Rhesus Macaque Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 71 amino acid and having a molecular mass of approximately 8.1kDa. TRAC is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Introduction
TARC cDNA encodes a 94 amino acid precursor protein with a 23 amino acid residue signal peptide that is cleaved off to generate the 71 amino acid residue mature secreted protein. Along with CC chemokine family members, CCL-17 has approximately 24-29% amino acid sequence identity with RANTES, MIP-1a, MIP-1b, MCP-1, MCP-2, MCP-3 and I-309. TARC is expressed in thymus, and at a lower level in the lung, colon, and small intestine. TARC is in addition transiently expressed in stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Recombinant TARC has been shown to be chemotactic for T cell lines but not monocytes or neutrophils. CCL-17 is a specific functional ligand for CCR4, a receptor that is selectively expressed on T cells. CCL17 is one of a few Cys-Cys (CC) cytokine genes clustered on the q arm of chromosome 16. CCL17 shows chemotactic activity for T lymphocytes, but not monocytes or granulocytes. CCL17 binds to chemokine receptors CCR4 and CCR8. This chemokine plays important roles in T cell development in thymus as well as in trafficking and activation of mature T cells.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated solution in 20mM PB, 0.02 % Tween-20 and 300mM NaCl, pH 7.4.
Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Thymus and Activation Regulated Chemokine Rhesus Macaque in sterile 18MΩ-cm H 2 O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability
Lyophilized TRAC although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Thymus and Activation Regulated Chemokine Rhesus Macaque should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles .
Purity
Greater than 97.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
