CST, 10681SF, IL-8 (E5F5Q) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free)

Monoclonal Antibody for studying IL8. Validated for Western Blotting,Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin),Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized). Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, IL-8 (E5F5Q) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) (CST #10681) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information This product is the carrier-free version of product #94407. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol. This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN, or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier-free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us . Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity. Formulation Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH 2 PO 4 , and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free. For standard formulation of this product see product # 94407 . Storage Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vorteing. This will not interfere with antibody performance. Specificity / Sensitivity IL-8 (E5F5Q) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total IL-8 protein. Species Reactivity: Human Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with human IL-8 recombinant protein. Background The prototypical CXC chemokine, IL-8, is best known for effects on neutrophils, specifically its ability to act as a chemoattractant and activate degranulation and respiratory burst (1-3). IL-8 is produced by a number of cell types, including monocytes, T cells, neutrophils, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and others (1). In addition to its effects on neutrophils, IL-8 promotes angiogenesis, inhibits endothelial cell apoptosis, and promotes the proliferation of melanoma cells in an autocrine fashion (1). As a result, IL-8 may be a contributing factor to the development of certain cancers (1,2). There are two distinct receptors for IL-8, CXCR1 and CXCR2; both are G protein-coupled receptors (1). Ligand binding induces Ca mobilization and activates the PI3K, PKC, Rho, and Rac pathways (1,3).
