Stability and Reconstitution

Stability and Storage Lyophilized proteins are stable for 1 year from the date of receipt if stored between (-20°C) and (-80°C). Upon reconstitution we recommend that the solution can be stored at (4°C) for short term or at (-20°C) to (-80°C) for long term. Repeated freeze thaw cycles should be avoided with reconstituted products.
Reconstitution Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the protein in sterile 1x PBS pH 7.4.

Background

IL-8 is a chemoattractant cytokine that signals through the CXCR1 and CXCR2 receptors to attract and activate neutrophils to sites of inflammation. It is secreted by multiple types of cells, including monocytes, neutrophils, tumor, epithelial, endothelial, and fibroblasts. IL-8 signaling activates downstream pathways that promote cell survival, proliferation, and cell invasiveness. As such, IL-8 has been linked to the promotion of angiogenesis, immunosuppressive cell recruitment, and EMT transition in several cancer types. Recent studies also indicate that IL-8 can serve as a marker for COVID-19 disease progression (PMID: 22235381, 18980965, 26548401, 33584733).
