Scientific Data Images for Mouse XCL1/Lymphotactin Antibody

Chemotaxis Induced by XCL1/Lymphotactin and Neutralization by Mouse XCL1/Lymphotactin Antibody.

Recombinant Mouse XCL1/Lymphotactin (Catalog # 486-LT) chemoattracts the BaF3 mouse pro-B cell line transfected with human XCR1 in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). The amount of cells that migrated through to the lower chemotaxis chamber was measured by Resazurin. Chemotaxis elicited by Recombinant Mouse XCL1/Lymphotactin (0.15 µg/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Mouse XCL1/ Lymphotactin Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF486). The ND₅₀ is typically 5-15 µg/mL.

Applications for Mouse XCL1/Lymphotactin Antibody

Application

Recommended Usage

Immunohistochemistry

5-15 µg/mL
Sample: Perfusion fixed frozen sections of mouse small intestine (Peyer's patch) and thymus

Western Blot

0.1 µg/mL
Sample: Recombinant Mouse XCL1/Lymphotactin (Catalog # 486-LT)

Neutralization

Measured by its ability to neutralize XCL1/Lymphotactin-induced chemotaxis in the BaF3 mouse pro‑B cell line transfected with human XCR1. The Neutralization Dose (ND₅₀) is typically 5-15 µg/mL in the presence of 0.15 µg/mL Recombinant Mouse XCL1/Lymphotactin.

Background: XCL1/Lymphotactin

Mouse lymphotactin (Lptn) and its human homologue (also named human SCM-1 and ATAC) belong to the C or gamma subfamily of chemokines. The C chemokines lack two (the 1st and 3rd) of the four invariant cysteine residues normally found in the CC and CXC chemokines and have an extended carboxy terminus. Mouse lymphotactin encodes a 114 amino acid residue precursor protein with a 21 amino acid residue predicted signal peptide. The expression of lymphotactin is restricted to activated mouse pro-T cells and to activated, class I MHC restricted T cells. The gene for lymphotactin has been mapped to chromosome 1 in both human and mouse.
