Preparation and Storage

Background: CCL19/MIP-3 beta

CCL19/MIP-3 beta, also known as ELC (EBI1-Ligand Chemokine), is a beta  chemokine that binds specifically to the chemokine receptor CCR7/EBI-1/BLR-2. Mouse (human) CCL19 cDNA encodes a 108 (98) amino acid precursor protein with a predicted 25 (21) aa signal peptide that is cleaved to form the 83 (77) aa mature secreted protein. CCL19 is distantly related to other beta chemokines (20 - 30% aa sequence identity). Mouse CCL19 shares 83% aa sequence homology with human CCL19. CCL19 has been shown to be constitutively expressed in various lymphoid tissues (including thymus, lymph nodes, appendix, and spleen) in dendritic cells within the T-cell zone. The expression of CCL19 is down-regulated by the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. Recombinant CCL19 has been shown to be chemotactic for T-cells and B-cells. The CCL19 receptor (CCR-7/EBI-1/BLR-2) is expressed in various lymphoid tissues and activated B and T lymphocytes. CCR7 is also strongly up‑regulated in B-cells infected with Epstein-Barr virus and T-cells infected with herpesvirus 6 or 7.
