ELISA: Indirect: To detect mMCP-2 by indirect ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) aconcentration of 0.5 - 2.0 μg/mL is required. This In conjunction with compatible secondaryreagents, it allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant mMCP-2. Sandwich: To detect mMCP-2 by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) aconcentration of 0.5 - 2.0 μg/mL is required. In conjunction with Biotinylated Anti-MurineMCP-2 as a detection antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well ofrecombinant mMCP-2. Western Blot: To detect mMCP-2 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 mMCP-2 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.

Background
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
