Background

Monocyte chemotactic protein-2 (MCP-2) is a non-glycosylated polypeptide that is a member of the C-C chemokine subfamily and it specifically attracts monocytes, lymphocytes, basophils and eosinophils. It also plays a role in neoplasia and inflammatory host responses. MCP-2 can bind heparin.1

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-2 was determined by by its ability to chemoattract mouse BaF/3 cells transfected with hCCR5 and its ability to chemoattract THP-1 cells. The expected ED<sub>50</sub> for these effects are typically 0.03 - 0.12 μg/ml and 0.03 - 0.1 μg/ml, respectively.
