CCL8/MCP-2 Antibody [Alexa Fluor™ Plus 680] Summary

• 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.
• Isotype: IgG
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Host: Goat

Background

MCP-2 and MCP-3 are two monocyte chemotactic proteins produced by human MG-63 osteosarcoma cells. Both MCP-2 and MCP-3 are members of the C-C family of chemokines and share 62% and 71% amino acid sequence identity, respectively, with MCP-1. MCP-3 also shares 58% amino acid identity with MCP-2.

Similar 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.
