Background

Monocyte chemotactic protein-3 (MCP3) is a non-glycosylated polypeptide belonging to the the CC-Chemokines family that attracts monocytes and eosinophils, augments monocyte anti-tumor activity, and induces the release of gelatinase B. It also regulates protease secretion by macrophages. MCP3 can bind heparin.1 MCP-3 is one of the most pluripotent chemokines since it activates all types of leukocytes.
MCP-3 may affect HIV-1 infection via inhibiting the binding of HIV envelope to CCR5.2 MCP-3 has also been implicated in Multiple Sclerosis, allergic reactions and viral infections.3,4,5

Protein Details

Purity
>97% by SDS-PAGE and analyzed by silver stain.
Endotoxin Level
<0.01 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method
Biological Activity
The biological activity of Human MCP-3 was determined by by its ability to chemoattract 2 day cultured human monocytes (Matsushima, K. et al., 1989, J. Exp. Med. 169:1485 - 1490) and its ability to chemoattract mouse BaF/3 cells transfected with hCCR2A. The expected ED<sub>50</sub> for these effects are typically 0.02 - 0.08 μg/ml and 0.1 - 0.5 μg/ml, respectively.
