    Product Information

    Product Description

    This Cell Signaling Technology® antibody is conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 555 fluorescent dye under optimal conditions and formulated at 200 µg/mL. This antibody conjugate is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated #94407

    Fluorescent Properties

    • ← Excitation: 555 nm ← Emission: 565 nm

    Product Usage Information

    SignalFlex™ conjugates are produced using highly validated Cell Signaling Technology® primary antibodies and conjugation methods that have been rigorously tested, ensuring high-quality conjugates and lot-to-lot consistency. These conjugates are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity. However, they are not tested on specific assays.

    Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. When performing flow cytometry, we recommend using an isotype control conjugate at the same concentration as the antibody conjugate.

    Storage

    Supplied in PBS (pH 7.2), less than 0.1% sodium azide, and 2 mg/mL BSA. Store at 4°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protect from light. Do not freeze.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    IL-8 (E5F5Q) XP® Rabbit mAb (SignalFlex™ Alexa Fluor® 555 Conjugate) recognizes endogenous levels of total IL-8 protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with human IL-8 recombinant protein.

    Background

    The prototypical CXC chemokine, IL-8, is best known for effects on neutrophils, specifically its ability to act as a chemoattractant and activate degranulation and respiratory burst (1-3).

    IL-8 is produced by a number of cell types, including monocytes, T cells, neutrophils, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and others (1). In addition to its effects on neutrophils, IL-8 promotes angiogenesis, inhibits endothelial cell apoptosis, and promotes the proliferation of melanoma cells in an autocrine fashion (1). As a result, IL-8 may be a contributing factor to the development of certain cancers (1,2). There are two distinct receptors for IL-8, CXCR1 and CXCR2; both are G protein-coupled receptors (1). Ligand binding induces Ca2+ mobilization and activates the PI3K, PKC, Rho, and Rac pathways (1,3).
