Research Areas:Immunology
Uniprot NO.:Q98157
Uniprot Entry Name:VMI2_HHV8P
Gene Names:ORF K4
Species:Human herpesvirus 8 type P (isolate GK18) (HHV-8) (Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus)
Source:E.Coli
Expression Region:24-93aa
Sequence:LGASWHRPDK CCLGYQKRPL PQVLLSSWYP TSQLCSKPGV IFLTKRGRQV CADKSKDWVK KLMQQLPVTA
Protein Description:Partial
Tag Info:Tag-Free
Mol. Weight:8.0 kDa
Biological_Activity:Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The specific activity is determined by the inhibitory effect on monocyte migration response to human MIP-1 alpha using a concentration range of 1.0µg-10.0µg/ml of viral MIP-2 will inhibit 25ng/ml of human MIP-1 alpha.
Purity:>97% as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC.
Endotoxin:Less than 1.0 EU/µg as determined by LAL method.
Form:Lyophilized powder
Buffer:Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered PBS, pH 7.4
Reconstitution:We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20?/-80?. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
Notes:Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4? for up to one week.
Alternative Name/ Alias:Viral macrophage inflammatory protein II Short name:vMIP-II vMIP-1B
Relevance:Blocks infection by several different human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) strains. This occurs because vMIP-II binds to a wide range of chemokine receptors. May form part of the response to host defenses contributing to virus-induced neoplasia and may have relevance to KSHV and HIV-I interactions.
