CCL7
Reactivity: Human
WB, ELISA
Host: Mouse
Polyclonal
unconjugated
Application Notes
Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of hMCP-3 (100 ng/mL), a concentration of 1 - 3 μ,g/mL of this antibody is required.
ELISA:
In a sandwich ELISA (assuming 100 μ,L/well), a concentration of 2.0-4.0 μ,g/mL of this antibody will detect recombinant human MCP-3 when used with our biotinylated antigen affinity purified anti-human MCP-3 (XP-5221Bt) as the detection antibody at a concentration of approximately 0.5-1.0 μ,g/mL.
Western Blot:
To detect hMCP-3 by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.5-1.0 μ,g/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hMCP-3 is 2.0-4.0 ng/lane, under reducing conditions and 0.25-0.50 ng/lane, under non-reducing conditions.

Background
MCP-3 is a secreted chemokine which attracts macrophages during inflammation and metastasis. It is a member of the C-C subfamily of chemokines which are characterized by having two adjacent cysteine residues. The protein is an in vivo substrate of matrix metalloproteinase 2, an enzyme which degrades components of the extracellular matrix.
