The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography.
Concentration:
0.5 mg/ml
Storage & Handling:
The antibody solution should be stored undiluted at 4°C.
Application:
ICFC2 - Quality tested IP3*, IHC1*, WB*, ELISA Capture * - *This application has been reported in the literature.
Recommended Usage:
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For immunofluorescent staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤ 0.5 µg per 106 cells in 100 µl volume. The purified 5D3-F7 has been tested by blocking fluorochrome conjugated 5D3-F7 for intracellular cytokine staining. In order to obtain complete blocking results, a saturated amount of purified antibody (≤ 5.0 ug/million cells) should be used for incubation with target cells, prior to staining with fluorochrome conjugated antibody. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
Application Notes:
ELISA or ELISPOT Detection1: The biotinylated 5D3-F7 antibody is useful as the detection antibody in a sandwich ELISA or ELISPOT assay, when used in conjunction with the purified 2H5 antibody (Cat. No. 505902/505906) as the capture antibody. ELISA or ELISPOT Capture: The purified 5D3-F7 antibody is useful as the capture antibody in a sandwich ELISA or ELISPOT assay, when used in conjunction with the biotinylated 2H5 antibody (Cat. No. 505908) as the detection antibody. The LEAF™ purified antibody (Cat. No. 502607) is suggested for ELISPOT capture.

Description:
Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) also known as monocyte chemotactic and activating factor (MCAF) was identified based on its ability to chemoattract monocytes. Subsequently, MCP-1 has also been found to regulate adhesion molecule expression and cytokine production in monocytes. MCP-1 is identical to the product of the JE gene, a PDGF inducible gene. MCP-1 is a member of the beta (C-C) chemokine subfamily, known as CCL2. The 5D3-F7 antibody reacts with human monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1).

Monocytes, basophils, T cells, NK cells, immature dendritic cells
Receptors:
CCR2; CCR5; CCR10; D6; possibly L-CCR
Bioactivity/Activities:
Chemoattractant; regulate adhesion molecule expression, cytokine production in monocytes; proliferation/activation of CC-chemokine activated killer cells
