Preparation and Storage

Background: CCL22/MDC

CCL22, also known as ABCD-1 and MDC (macrophage-derived chemokine), is a CC chemokine cloned from activated mouse B cells. Mouse CCL22 cDNA encodes a precursor protein of 92 amino acid (aa) residues with a 24 aa residue predicted signal peptide that is cleaved to yield a 68 aa residue mature 7.8 kDa protein. At the amino acid sequence level, mouse and human CCL22 share 64% identity and 83% similarity. The genomic organization of the mouse and human CCL22 genes are very similar, exhibiting sequence identity at the intron-exon boundaries. Mouse CCL22 is expressed at high levels in dendritic cells and activated B lymphocytes. Low levels of mouse CCL22 mRNA are also detectable in lung, unstimulated spleen cells, lymph node cells and in thymocytes. CCL22 is a functional ligand for the CC chemokine receptor 4. Recombinant or chemically synthesized mature mouse CCL22 has been shown to induce chemotaxis or Ca²⁺ mobilization in activated mouse and human T cells.
