Reconstitute the lyophilized protein in distilled water. The product concentration should not be less than 100 μg/ml. Before opening, centrifuge the tube to collect powder at the bottom. After adding the reconstitution buffer, avoid vortexing or pipetting for mixing.

It is recommended to store recombinant proteins at -20°C to -80°C for future use. Lyophilized powders can be stably stored for over 12 months, while liquid products can be stored for 6-12 months at -80°C. For reconstituted protein solutions, the solution can be stored at -20°C to -80°C for at least 3 months. Please avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles and store products in aliquots.

Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) (also referred to as chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) is expressed by mainly inflammatory cells and endothelial cells. MCP-1 has been reported to play an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and considerable evidence supports that the monocyte containing MCPs and macrophage influences the growth of other cell types within the atherosclerotic lesion. This review will focus on the general structure features of MCP-1 and its role in atherosclerosis.
