Preparation and Storage

Background: CCL3/MIP-1 alpha

The macrophage inflammatory proteins -1 alpha and -1 beta were originally co-purified from medium conditioned by an LPS-stimulated murine macrophage cell line. Human MIP‑1 alpha refers to the products of several independently cloned cDNAs, including LD78, pL78, pAT464, and GOS19. These cDNAs all code for the same human protein that is a homologue of the murine MIP‑1 alpha. Mature MIP-1 alpha and MIP‑1 beta in both human and mouse share approximately 70% homology at the amino acid level. The MIP‑1 proteins are members of the beta (C-C) subfamily of chemokines. Both MIP‑1 alpha and MIP-1 beta are monocyte chemoattractants in vitro. Additionally, the MIP‑1 proteins have been reported to have chemoattractant and adhesive effects on lymphocytes, with MIP‑1 alpha and MIP‑1 beta preferentially attracting CD8⁺ and CD4⁺ T cells, respectively. MIP‑1 alpha has also been shown to attract B cells as well as eosinophils. MIP‑1 proteins have been reported to have multiple effects on hematopoietic precursor cells and MIP‑1 alpha has been identified as a stem cell inhibitory factor that can inhibit the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells in vitro as well as in vivo. The functional receptor for MIP‑1 alpha has been identified as CCR1 and CCR5.
