Neutralisation: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of mExodus-2 (100.0 ng/mL), a concentration of 9.0-10.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. ELISA: To detect mExodus-2 by direct ELISA (using 100 l/well antibody solution) a concentrationof at least 0.5 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, inconjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of 0.2-0.4 ng/wellof recombinant mExodus-2. Western blot: To detect mExodus-2 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentrationof 0.1-0.2 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detectionlimit for recombinant mExodus-2 is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducingconditions. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Exodus 2 is one of several CC cytokine genes clustered on the p arm of chromosome 9. Cytokines are a family of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The CC cytokines are proteins characterised by two adjacent cysteines. Similar to other chemokines the protein encoded by this gene inhibits hemopoiesis and stimulates chemotaxis. This protein is chemotactic in vitro for thymocytes and activated T cells, but not for B cells, macrophages, or neutrophils. The cytokine encoded by this gene may also play a role in mediating homing of lymphocytes to secondary lymphoid organs. It is a high affinity functional ligand for chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) that is expressed on T and B lymphocytes and a known receptor for another member of the cytokine family (small inducible cytokine A19).Synonyms: Beta chemokine exodus-2, C-C motif chemokine 21a, Scya21a, Small-inducible cytokine A21a, TCA-4, TCA4, Thymus-derived chemotactic agent 4
