  • Bat CCL4 (C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 4) (catalog RP2310BT) is a yeast-derived cytokine supplied lyophilized without carrier protein in 10% trehalose; it contains no affinity tags, is naturally endotoxin-free, and should be reconstituted in sterile PBS with at least 0.1% carrier protein. The protein is ~7.8 kDa, 69 amino acids in length (full sequence provided), and >98% pure by SDS-PAGE, with 100% amino-acid homology to Jamaican fruit-eating bat. It is stable for up to twelve months at -20 °C from receipt, with working aliquots (with carrier protein) stable for ~3 months; avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. The product is manufactured in the USA. It is commonly used to study chemokine-mediated immune responses, particularly macrophage and lymphocyte recruitment, inflammation, and cytokine signaling pathways; typical applications include chemotaxis and cell migration assays, immune cell activation studies, cytokine signaling research, ELISA and neutralization assays, flow cytometry and Western blot controls, and antibody development or validation. Kingfisher Biotech products are supplied for research applications only and are not intended for medicinal, diagnostic, or therapeutic use.

Jamaican Fruit-eating Bat (Artibeus jamaicensis) CCL4 (C-C motif chemokine ligand 4, also known as MIP-1β, macrophage inflammatory protein-1 beta) is a pro-inflammatory chemokine that regulates recruitment and activation of immune cells during antiviral and inflammatory responses. CCL4 primarily signals through the CCR5 receptor, promoting chemotaxis of monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and activated T lymphocytes to sites of infection or tissue injury. In A. jamaicensis, CCL4 is likely produced by activated macrophages, dendritic cells, epithelial cells, and lymphocytes following stimulation by pathogen-associated molecules and inflammatory cytokines. As bats serve as reservoirs for a variety of viruses, chemokines such as CCL4 are of particular interest for understanding how immune cell recruitment is regulated during viral infection while avoiding excessive inflammatory damage. Balanced expression of CCL4 may help coordinate antiviral immune responses and leukocyte trafficking while maintaining controlled inflammation, a feature associated with the ability of bats to tolerate infections that cause severe disease in other mammals. Characterization of Jamaican Fruit-eating Bat CCL4 therefore supports research into bat antiviral immunity, chemokine-mediated immune regulation, and host–pathogen interactions, providing insights into mechanisms of viral tolerance and comparative mammalian immunology.
