Background

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-4 (MCP-4), also know as CCL13, is a member of a distinct, structurally-related subclass of CC chemokines mainly involved in recruitment of eosinphils to inflammatory sites. MCP-4 is a major chemoattractants for eosinophils, basophils monocytes and T lymphocytes. The MCP protein family bind to specific G-protein-coupled receptors, initiating a signal cascade within the cell1,2 MCP-4 can cause joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis.3

Protein Details

Purity
>97% by SDS-PAGE and analyzed by silver stain.
Endotoxin Level
<0.1 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method
Biological Activity
The biological activity of Human MCP-4 was determined by by its ability to chemoattract 2 day cultured human monocytes (Matsushima, K. et al., 1989, J. Exp. Med. 169:1485) and by its ability to chemoattract hCCR2A transfected mouse BaF/3 cells. The expected ED<sub>50</sub> for these effects are typically 0.2 - 0.6 μg/ml and 0.5 - 2 μg/ml, respectively.
