Crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic study of interleukin-8

AbstractInterleukin-8 (neutrophil-activating factor; NAP-1) has been crystallized by the vapour diffusion technique to give single crystals suitable for three-dimensional structural study at a resolution higher than 2.4 Å. The crystals belong to the space group P3121 or P3221 and have unit cell dimensions a = b = 40.9 Å, c = 90.3 Å
