Anti-Human MCP-1 (Clone 23002)

Purified Recombinant Human MCP-1 (Accession # P13500)

This monoclonal antibody has been 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 - 7.3 containing 5.0% w/v trehalose with no calcium, magnesium or preservatives present.

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.

IHC (NBF/Par.): This antibody should give satisfactory staining results when used at a concentration of 25 µg/ml. The recommended secondary antibody for IHC is PN:M114. For chromogenic detection with high signal and low background use PN:D100 or PN:K107.

Mouse Anti-Human Monocyte Chemotactic Protein 1 (MCP-1) (Clone 23002) recognizes an epitope on 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.

Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (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
