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
- Clonality: Polyclonal
- Host: Goat
- Reactivity: Mouse
- Conjugate: Biotin
- Gene: 20296
- Quantity: 50 µg
- Storage: The lyophilized, biotinylated antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for up to twelve months from date of receipt. The reconstituted biotin conjugate can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted conjugate, 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.
