CCL8/MCP-2 Antibody [Allophycocyanin] Summary

• Immunogen: E. coli-derived recombinant human CCL8/MCP-2
  Gln24-Pro99
  Accession # P80075
• Specificity: Detects human CCL8/MCP‑2 in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In direct ELISAs and Western blots (non-reducing conditions), less than 40% cross‑reactivity with recombinant human (rh) HCC-1 is observed, less than 10% cross‑reactivity with rhEotaxin is observed, and less than 5% cross‑reactivity with rhMCP-1 is observed. Neutralizes the biological activity of rhCCL8. This antibody will not neutralize the biological activity of rhMCP-1, recombinant mouse JE, or rhMCP-3.

Background

MCP2 and MCP3 are two recently identified monocyte chemotactic proteins produced by human MG63 osteosarcoma cells. Both MCP2 and MCP3 are members of the C-C family of chemokines and share 62% and 71% amino acid sequence identity, respectively, with MCP1. MCP3 also shares 58% amino acid identity with MCP2. Similarly to other C-C chemokines, all three MCP proteins are monocyte chemoattractants. In addition, the three MCPs can chemoattract activated NK cells as well as CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes. All three cytokines have also been shown to attract eosinophils and induce histamine secretion from basophils.
