IL8 (CXCL8) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: I8-S2]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	I8-S2
Applications	ELISA, FN, WB
Recommend Dilution	ELISA: Reacts with human IL-8 (matched pair with clone I8-60, Cat.-No DM1023). Neutralizing: In chemotaxis assay, the antibody inhibited 97.8% % of the chemotactic activity of IL-8 on RB/293 cell using 5 µg/ml of MAb and 10 ng/ml of human IL-8 in assay. This MAb inhibited the chemotactic effect of human IL-8, had no inhibitory effect to MIP 1-beta and RANTES in neutrophil chemotaxis assay. It indicates the MAb is special neutralizing the IL-8 activity. The MAb has been shown the neutralizing activity on calcium ion changes in human granulocytes using FACS. Western Blot: Concentration of 0.02-0.1 µg/ml MAb will allow visualization of 100 ng/lane of human IL-8.

Background	Interleukin 8 (IL-8), formerly called monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor, belongs to the C-X-C chemokine family. IL-8 has 4 cysteine residues, as do other members of the chemokine family, and the first two cysteine residues are separated by glutamine. IL-8 consists of 72 amino acids with a molecular weight of 8,000 daltons. IL-8 exhibits chemotactic activity in vitro for T cells, basophils and neutrophils. IL-8 activates neutrophils to release lysosomal enzymes including myeloperoxidase, -mannosidase and -glucuronidase. IL-1 induces the production of IL-8 from fibroblasts, keratinocytes, endothelial cells, hepatoma cells, astrocytoma cells, glioblastoma cells, lung epithelial cells, synovial membrane cells, melanocytes, melanoma cells and gastric cancer cells. Lipopolysaccharides will stimulate IL-8 production in monocytes/macrophages, and expressed on endothelial cells in response to inflammation.
Synonyms	CXCL8, Protein 3-10C, Emoctakin, GCP1, MDNCF, MONAP, NAP1
