Abstract  

CXCL4,Platelet factor 4 (PF4), belongs to the subfamily of CXC chemokines, which is reported to be involved in numerous biological process by acting on a broad spectrum of different cell types. Here, the study aimed to express and purify recombinant human CXCL4 protein using E. coli expression system and affinity chromotography methods. The results demonstrated a simple and efficient strategy for the production and purification of recombinant human CXCL4 (rhCXCL4) with over 95% purity by gel electrophoresis have been developed. Its biological activity was confirmed in the proliferation-inhibition assay using a tumor cell line, ACHN cells. The rhCXCL4 will facilitate the structural and functional analysis of human CXCL4. The production strategy of rhCXCL4 should have important reference values for the expression and purification of other chemokines.
