Antibody DetailsProduct DetailsReactivity Species Human Host Species Mouse Immunogen Purified Recombinant Human MCP-1 (>98%) Endotoxin Level <0.1 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method Formulation This monoclonal antibody has been 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 - 7.4 containing 5.0% w/v trehalose with no calcium, magnesium or preservatives present. Storage and Handling The lyophilized antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for up to twelve months. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted antibody, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months. Country of Origin USA Shipping Next Day Ambient RRIDAB_2831356 Applications and Recommended Usage? Quality Tested by Leinco Western Blotting: To detect Human MCP-1 this monoclonal antibody can be used at a concentration of 1 - 2 µg/ml. This monoclonal antibody should be used in conjunction with compatible second-step reagents such as PN:M114 and a chromogenic substrate such as PN:T343. The detection limit for Human MCP-1 is 5 and 20 ng/lane under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. The sensitivity of detection may increase up to 50 fold when a chemiluminescent substrate is used. A suitable Western blotting control is PN:M156. Other Applications Reported In Literature ? Neutralization: This antibody is useful for neutralization of Human MCP-1 bioactivity. The antibody dose required to neutralize 50% (ND50) of the biological activity of Human MCP-1 (at 0.15 ng/ml) is 0.9 - 4.5 µg/ml. Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change. DescriptionSpecificity Mouse Anti-Human Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 (MCP-1) recognizes Human MCP-1. This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype. Background MCP-1 is an essential chemokine produced predominantly by macrophages and endothelial cells and is a potent chemotactic factor for monocytes.1,2,3 It can induce the proliferation and activation of killer cells known as CHAK (CC-Chemokine-activated killer). MCP-1 is also a potent activator of human basophils, induces degranulation and the release of histamines. MCP-1 is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction.4 Antigen DetailsProtein PubMed References & Citations1. Yoshimura, T. et al. (1989) J. Exp. Med. 169: 1449 2.
