Interleukin-8 (IL-8) belongs to the neutrophil-specific CXC family of chemokines. It is one of the initial cytokines released from a variety of cell types; including T cells; endothelial cells and fibroblasts; in response to an inflammatory stimulus and acts by recruiting neutrophils; T-cells and basophils to the site of inflammation. Elevated Interleukin-8 levels are associated with the onset of a variety of disease states.
Recombinant Human C-X-C motif chemokine 8/Interleukin 8 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Glu21-Ser99 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus.
