ELISA
Host: Rabbit
Polyclonal
HRP
Application Notes
ELISA: In a sandwich ELISA (assuming 100 μL/well), a concentration of 1.0-2.0 μg/mL of thisantibody will detect at least 100 pg/mL of recombinant human MCP-2 when used withBiotin anti-Human MCP-2 antibody (cat. PP1047B) as the detection antibody at aconcentration of approximately 0.5-1.0 μg/mL. Western Blot: To detect Human MCP-2 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be usedat a concentration of 0.25-0.50 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondaryreagents the detection limit for recombinant hMCP-2 is 0.25-0.50 ng/lane, undernon-reducing conditions. Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity ofHuman MCP-2 (100 ng/mL), a concentration of 0.8-1.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

MCP 2 (Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein 2) is a chemotactic factor that attracts monocytes, lymphocytes, basophils and eosinophils. MCP 2 is important to inflammatory host responses, and is found in the highest concentration in the small intestine and peripheral blood cells. This protein is structurally related to the CXC subfamily of cytokines. Members of this subfamily are characterized by two cysteines separated by a single amino acid. By recruiting leukocytes to sites of inflammation this cytokine may contribute to tumor-associated leukocyte infiltration and to the antiviral state against HIV infection.Synonyms: C-C motif chemokine 8, CCL-8, HC14, MCP-2, Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-2, Monocyte chemoattractant protein 2, SCYA10, SCYA8, Small-inducible cytokine A8
