• Target description: Protein S100-A8/9 (UniProt: P05109/ P06702; also known as MRP-8/MRP-14, Leukocyte L1 complex light chain/ Leukocyte L1 complex heavy chain, p8/p14, S100 calcium-binding protein A8/A9) are encoded by the S100A8/S100A9 (also known as MRP8/MRP14) genes (Gene ID: 6279/6280) in human. MRP-8 and MRP-14 are calcium- and zinc-binding proteins that play a prominent role in the regulation of inflammatory processes and immune response. They are known to induce neutrophil chemotaxis and adhesion. They are predominantly found as calprotectin and perform a variety of intra- and extracellular functions. Their intracellular functions include facilitating leukocyte arachidonic acid trafficking and metabolism, modulation of the tubulin-dependent cytoskeleton during migration of phagocytes, and activation of the neutrophilic NADPH-oxidase. They are known to activate NADPH-oxidase by facilitating the enzyme complex assembly at the cell membrane. MRP-8 contributes to the enzyme assembly by directly binding to NCF2/P67PHOX. Its extracellular functions include proinflammatory, antimicrobial, oxidant-scavenging and induction of apoptosis. MRP-14 is reported to induce neutrophil chemotaxis and adhesion and can increase the bactericidal activity of neutrophils by promoting phagocytosis via activation of SYK, PI3K/AKT, and ERK1/2 pathways and can induce degranulation of neutrophils by a MAPK-dependent mechanism. MRP-8 and MRP-14 also acts as danger associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecules and stimulate innate immune cells via binding to pattern recognition receptors such as Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and receptor for advanced glycation end (AGER) products. They also play an impotent role as oxidant scavengers and have a protective role in preventing exaggerated tissue damage by scavenging oxidants. This ZooMAbZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

• Physical form: Purified recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.
• Reconstitution: 300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.
• Storage and Stability: Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
