Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 (MCP-1) is a chemotactic factor that belongs to CC chemokine family and can attract basophils and monocytes but not eosinophils or neutrophils. It is produced in keratinocytes, fibroblasts, hepatoma cells and Type II pneumocytes in response to IL-1. It has a crucial role in recruiting immune cells to the site of antigens as well as behaves as an inflammatory mediator which stimulates the directional migration of T cells and monocytes. Monoclonal anti-Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 antibody is suitable for neutralization, in which it will not neutralize the activity of recombinant human MIP-1α, recombinant mouse MIP-1α or recombinant human RANTES. Mouse anti-Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 antibody reacts specifically with human MCP-1/CCL2._x000D_ Specificity_x000D_ The antibody will neutralize the biological activity of recombinant human MCP-1.This antibody does not exhibit cross-reactivity with recombinant human RANTES, recombinant human MIP-1α, or recombinant mouse MIP-1α.._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ recombinant human MCP-1/CCL2 expressed in E. coli._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Monoclonal anti-Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 antibody can be used in western blotting._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm solution in phosphate buffered saline containing carbohydrates._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Preparation Note_x000D_ Purified using protein A.
