• Specificity: Clone 1D20 is a ZooMAb® Rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Interleukin-8 (IL-8). It targets an epitope within 21 amino acids from the C-terminal region.
• Immunogen: KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 21 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human Interleukin-8 (IL-8).
• Application: Quality Control TestingEvaluated by Western Blotting with a recombinant fragment of Human IL-8Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:10,000 dilution of this antibody detected a recombinant fragment corresponding to 72 amino acids from the C-terminal region of Human IL-8.Tested ApplicationsFlow Cytometry Analysis: 1 µg from a representative lot detected IL-8 in one million Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected IL-8 in Human tonsil tissue sections.Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user.
• Target description: Interleukin-8 (UniProt: P10145; also known as IL-8, C-X-C motif chemokine 8, Chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 8 Emoctakin, Granulocyte chemotactic protein 1, GCP-1, Monocyte-derived neutrophil chemotactic factor, MDNCF, Monocyte-derived neutrophil-activating peptide, MONAP, Neutrophil-activating protein 1, NAP-1, Protein 3-10C, T-cell chemotactic factor) is encoded by the CXCL8 (also known as IL8) gene (Gene ID: 3576) in human. IL-8 is a homodimeric protein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-20), which is subsequently cleaved off to produce the mature protein. Several N-terminal processed forms of IL-8 are produced by proteolytic cleavage after secretion from peripheral blood monocytes, leukocytes, and endothelial cells. IL-8 (aa 6-77) is the most prominent form. IL-8 is a proinflammatory cytokine that serves as a chemotactic factor that attracts neutrophils, basophils, and T-cells during the inflammatory process. It is involved in neutrophil activation and attracts neutrophils to sites of inflammation and plays an important role in host defense against bacterial infections. It is released in response to an inflammatory stimulus and exerts its effect by binding to the G-protein-coupled receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2 that are primarily found in neutrophils, monocytes, and endothelial cells. Citrullination of IL-8 on arginine 27 prevents proteolysis and dampens tissue inflammation and also enhances leukocytosis, possibly through impaired chemokine clearance from the blood circulation. IL-8 is reported to promote cell migration via CXCR1 and CXCR2 in liver cancer. Higher levels of CXCR1, CXCR2, and IL-8 are associated with advanced tumor stage and increased risk of lymph node or distant metastasis. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonal.

• Physical form: Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 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.
