Analysis Note
The biological activity is measured by its ability to induce myeloperoxidase release from cytochalasin B treated human neutrophils.
Physical form
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in 30% acetonitrile and 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid containing 1.25 mg bovine serum albumin.
Biochem/physiol Actions
CINC-3, a member of the α (CXC) subfamily of chemokines, is a potent chemotactic factor for rat neutrophils in vivo and in vitro. Rat and murine CINC-3 exhibits approximately 88% homology.
