Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of hMCP-2 (100 ng/mL), a concentration of 0.8-1.0 μ,g/mL of this antibody is required.
ELISA:
In a sandwich ELISA (assuming 100 μ,L/well), a concentration of 1.0-2.0 μ,g/mL of this antibody will detect at least 100 pg/mL of recombinant human MCP-2 when used with our biotinylated antigen affinity purified anti-human MCP-2 (XP-5224Bt) as the detection antibody at a concentration of approximately 0.5-1.0 μ,g/mL.
Western Blot:
To detect hMCP-2 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.25-0.50 μ,g/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hMCP-2 is 0.25-0.50 ng/lane, under non-reducing conditions.

Background
MCP 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.
