Biochem/physiol Actions

Macrophage-Derived Chemokine (MDC) induces chemotaxis or calcium mobilization in dendritic cells, IL-2 activated cells, and activated T lymphocytes. MDC, also named stimulated T cell chemotactic protein (STCP-1), shows <35% identity to other CC chemokine family members. It is expressed in dendritic cells, macrophages, and activated monocytes. Expression is also detected in the tissues of thymus, lymph node, and appendix.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in 20% acetonitrile and 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid containing 1.25 mg bovine serum albumin.

Analysis Note

The biological activity is measured by its ability to chemoattract human T-lymphoblastoid CEM-NKr cells.

The human T lymphoblastoid cell line CEM was subjected to immunoselection by co-culture with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) for resistance to natural killer (NK) cell-mediated lysis. The NK susceptibility of the resulting subline, CEM.NKR, was 8.4 to 20.6% of

A cDNA encoding a novel human chemokine was isolated by random sequencing of cDNA clones from human monocyte-derived macrophages. This protein has been termed macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) because it appears to be synthesized specifically by cells of the macrophage lineage.

A novel human chemokine STCP-1 (stimulated T cell chemotactic protein) was isolated from an activated macrophage cDNA library. The chemokine has four cysteines positioned in a manner that identifies STCP-1 as a member of the CC chemokine family. The amino

CD8(+) T lymphocytes from individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus-type 1 (HIV-1) secrete a soluble activity that suppresses infection by HIV-1. A protein associated with this activity was purified from the culture supernatant of an immortalized CD8(+) T cell clone

Macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) is a recently identified member of the CC chemokine family. MDC is not closely related to other chemokines, sharing most similarity with thymus- and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC), which contains 37% identical amino acids. Both chemokines are highly
