Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity ofhMIP-4 (100.0 ng/mL), a concentration of 8.0-10.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. ELISA: (Indirect): To detect hMIP-4 by indirect ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) aconcentration of 0.5 - 2.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purifiedantibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of atleast 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hMIP-4. (Sandwich): To detect hMIP-4 by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) aconcentration of 0.5 - 2.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purifiedantibody, in conjunction with Biotinylated Anti-Human MIP-4 (PP1054B) as a detectionantibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hMIP-4. Western Blot: To detect hMIP-4 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 hMIP-4 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.
