Recombinant Mouse MIP-1α

Macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha) is a potent inhibitor of hemopoietic stem cell proliferation and is a member of a family of pro- inflammatory mediators, the chemokine family.¹ MIP-1 alpha is a particularly interesting chemokine, because in addition to its proinflammatory activities, it inhibits the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells.² The role of MIP-1 alpha seems to be related to production of TNF-alpha, which in turn up-regulates vascular adhesion molecules required for neutrophil influx.³

The biological activity of Mouse MIP-1α was determined by its ability to chemoattract cultured human monocytes or mouse BaF3 cells transfected with human CCR5. The expected ED₅₀ for these effects are typically 5 - 25 ng/ml and 0.4 - 2.0 ng/ml, respectively.
