Purified recombinant Mouse MIP1 alpha protein Expression System: E.coli Bioactivity: Determined by its ability to chemoattract Mouse balb/c splenocytes using a concentration range of 10.0-100.0 ng/mL.
Both MIP-1 alpha and MIP-1 beta are structurally and functionally related CC chemokines. They participate in the host response to invading bacterial, viral, parasite and fungal pathogens by regulating the trafficking and activation state of selected subgroups of inflammatory cells e.g. macrophages, lymphocytes and NK cells. While both MIP-1 alpha and MIP-1 beta exert similar effects on monocytes their effect on lymphocytes differ, with MIP-1 alpha selectively attracting CD8+ lymphocytes and MIP-1 beta selectively attracting CD4+ lymphocytes. Additionally, MIP-1 alpha and MIP-1 beta have also been shown to be potent chemoattractants for B cells, eosinophils and dendritic cells. Both human and Mouse MIP-1 alpha and MIP-1 beta are active on human and Mouse hematopoietic cells. Alternative Names: CCL3 protein, MIP-1 alpha protein, MIP-1 alpha protein, MIP 1 alpha protein, MIP1 alpha, Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1 alpha protein, LD78 alpha protein, MIP-1 alpha, MIP 1 alpha
