Human IL-8 (C-6His) Protein

Recombinant Human C-X-C Motif Chemokine 8/Interleukin 8 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Glu21-Ser99 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.. , Protein function: IL-8 is a chemotactic factor that attracts neutrophils, basophils, and T-cells, but not monocytes. It is also involved in neutrophil activation. It is released from several cell types in response to an inflammatory stimulus. IL-8(6-77) has a 5-10-fold higher activity on neutrophil activation, IL-8(5-77) has increased activity on neutrophil activation and IL-8(7-77) has a higher affinity to receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2 as compared to IL-8(1-77), respectively.
