Validation Data Gallery

• 

  WB analysis using 31533-1-AP (same clone as 31533-1-PBS)

  Untreated, PMA, LPS and Brefeldin A treated THP-1 cells were subjected to SDS PAGE followed by western blot with 31533-1-AP (CXCL8/IL-8 antibody) at dilution of 1:1000 incubated at room temperature for 1.5 hours. This data was developed using the same antibody clone with 31533-1-PBS in a different storage buffer formulation.

• 

  IHC staining of human intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma using 31533-1-AP (same clone as 31533-1-PBS)

  Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma tissue slide using 31533-1-AP (CXCL8/IL-8 antibody) at dilution of 1:100 (under 20x lens). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0). This data was developed using the same antibody clone with 31533-1-PBS in a different storage buffer formulation.

Background Information

Interleukin 8 (IL-8), also known as CXCL8, is a CXC chemokine family member. This chemokine is secreted by a variety of cell types including monocyte/macrophages, T cells, neutrophils, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and various tumor cell lines in response to inflammatory stimuli. IL-8 has two primary functions. It induces chemotaxis in target cells, primarily neutrophils but also other granulocytes, causing them to migrate toward the site of infection. IL-8 also induces phagocytosis once they have arrived. This gene is believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of bronchiolitis, a common respiratory tract disease caused by viral infection. IL-8 is also known to be a potent promoter of angiogenesis. IL-8 has been associated with tumor angiogenesis, metastasis, and poor prognosis in breast cancer. IL-8 may present a novel therapeutic target for estrogen driven breast carcinogenesis and tumor progression. The human IL-8 cDNA sequence predicts a protein of 99 amino acids. Removal of a 22-residue signal peptide generates a mature protein of 77 amino acids (~ 8 kDa).
