ELISA: To detect hLD78-beta by direct ELISA (using 100 l/well antibody solution) thisantibody can be used at a concentration of 0.15-0.30 μg/mL. Used in conjunction withcompatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of at least 0.2 ng/well of recombinanthLD78-beta. Western Blot: To detect hLD78-beta by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at aconcentration of 0.1-0.2 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagentsthe detection limit for recombinant hLD78-beta is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing ornon-reducing conditions. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

LD78 belongs to the intercrine beta (chemokine CC) family. It is closely related to MIP-1 alpha. This protein binds to several chemokine receptors including chemokine binding protein 2 and chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 (CCR5). CCR5 is a co-receptor for HIV, binding of this protein to CCR5 inhibits HIV entry, and LD78 beta has been shown to exhibit potent activity in HIV suppression assays. The copy number of the LD78 gene varies among individuals, most individuals have 1-6 copies in the diploid genome, although rare individuals have zero or more than six copies. The gene encodes a 93 amino acid preprotein, the mature protein contains 70 amino acids.Synonyms: C-C motif chemokine 3-like 1, D17S1718, G0/G1 switch regulatory protein 19-2, G0S19-2, SCYA3L1, Small-inducible cytokine A3-like 1, Tonsillar lymphocyte LD78 beta protein
