Description

General description

SILu^™Prot IL8 is a recombinant, stable isotope-labeled human CXCL8 which incorporates [¹³C₆, ¹⁵N₄]-Arginine and [¹³C₆, ¹⁵N₂]-Lysine. Expressed in human 293 cells, it is designed to be used as an internal standard for bioanalysis of CXCL8 in mass-spectrometry. SILu^™Prot IL8 is a mixture of the 3 main CXCL8 isoforms with the molecular weights, amino acid number and relative abundance as described in Table 1 of the product′s datasheet.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a member of the CXC chemokine subfamily and is produced by blood cells and many types of tissues. The measurement of IL-8 in voided urinary samples may have utility for urine-based detection of bladder cancer. Urinary IL-8 was a strong biomarker of stress under intensive and prolonged demands, both acutely and over time. IL-8 and cathepsin B levels were significantly elevated in melanoma patients, and more importantly, the combination of IL-8 and cathepsin B were also studied as a prognosis marker for melanoma mortality.

Physical form

Supplied as a lyophilized powder containing phosphate buffered saline.
