Description
Accession
P48061
Source
Optimized DNA sequence encoding Human Stromal Cell-Derived Factor-1 alpha mature chain was expressed in Escherichia Coli.
Molecular weight
Native human SDF-1 alpha, generated by the proteolytic removal of the signal peptide and propeptide,the molecule has a calculated molecular mass of approximately8 kDa. Recombinant SDF-1 alpha is a monomer protein consisting of69 amino acid residue subunits, migrates as an approximately8 kDa protein under non-reducing and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE.
Purity
>97%, as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Biological Activity
Determined by its ability to chemoattract human U937 expressing CXCR4 Determined by calcium flux with human U937 cells.

Endotoxin
Endotoxin content was assayed using a LAL gel clot method. Endotoxin level was found to be less than 0.1 ng/µg(1EU/µg).
Presentation
Recombinant SDF-1 alpha was lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered PBS, pH.4.
Reconstitution
A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.
Storage
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least years from date of receipt at -20° C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at2° -8° C for one month, or at -20° C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Usage
This cytokine product is for research purposes only.It may not be used for therapeutics or diagnostic purposes.

Methods
Migration assay
-
Peripheral blood samples at TP2 in EDTA tubes are diluted with PBS supplemented with 2 mM EDTA and 0.5% BSA (v/v, 1∶1); 30 mL of diluted blood solution is then loaded in a 50-mL LeucoSep tubes with 15 mL of Histopaque 1077 and centrifuged at 850×
g for 25 min. - The buffy coat layers containing white blood cells are collected and washed twice with sterile PBS.
- Cells are then resuspended in EBM-2 supplemented with 0.1% BSA.
- 0.5–1×107 cells/mL of cells are loaded onto the upper part of ThinCert™ tissue culture polystyrene inserts (452.4 mm2 culture surface, 3.0 µm pore size , , ) which are pre-assembled on 6-well plates containing medium as above with or without 100 ng/mL of recombinant human SDF-1α or β-NGF , respectively.
- Cells are then incubated at 37°C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2 for 18 hrs.
- Cells from both parts of the transwell inserts are dissociated…

Receptors involved in the crosstalk between CXCL12 and HER1.
- 5637 or HeLa cells were cultured alone, or in the presence of 200 ng/mL CXCL12 or 25 ng/mL HB-EGF.
TOSE cells are hypermethylated at the CXCL12 promoter (A) CXCL12 RNA levels were measured by quantitative RT-PCR.
- CXCL12 protein levels measured by ELISA (inset).
SDF-1 expression in human adult pancreas.
- Double immunofluorescent staining of SDF-1α (red) and insulin (green) in human adult islets demonstrates ductal enrichment of SDF-1α, but no expression in islets.

Migration assay
- Chemotaxis experiments were performed in polycarbonate transwell inserts (5 μm pore diameter .).
- Soluble SDF-1 was added in the lower chamber at a concentration of 100 ng/ml.
- Cells (2 × 105) were seeded in the upper compartment and were cultured at 37°C for 18 h. Migrated cells in the lower chamber were photographed and counted under a microscope.
