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:
ELISA Capture1 - Quality tested WB3*, IHC5 * - *This application has been reported in the literature.
Recommended Usage:
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by ELISA analysis. For ELISA capture applications, a concentration range of 5-10 μg/ml is recommended. To obtain a linear standard curve, serial dilutions of MCP-1 recombinant protein ranging from 2000 to 15 pg/ml are recommended for each ELISA plate. For immunofluorescent staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤0.5 μg per 106 cells in 100 μl volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
Application Notes:
ELISA or ELISPOT Capture1: The purified 2H5 antibody is useful as the capture antibody in a sandwich ELISA or ELISPOT assay, when used in conjunction with the biotinylated 4E2/MCP antibody (Cat. No. 506002) as the detecting antibody for the detection of mouse MCP-1. The purified 2H5 antibody is useful as the capture antibody in a sandwich ELISA or ELISPOT assay, when used in conjunction with the biotinylated 5D3-F7 antibody (Cat. No. 502609) as the detecting antibody for the detection of human MCP-1. The LEAF™ purified antibody is suggested for ELISPOT capture. Neutralization1,4,6: The LEAF™ purified antibody (Endotoxin <0.1 EU/μg, Azide-Free, 0.2 μm sterile-filtered) is recommended for neutralization of mouse/rat MCP-1 bioactivity in vivo and in vitro (Cat. No. 505906). Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include: Western blotting3, immunohistochemistry5 of paraformaldehyde-fixed, saponin-treated frozen tissue sections.

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 2H5 antibody reacts with mouse, rat, and human MCP-1. The 2H5 antibody can neutralize the bioactivity of natural or recombinant MCP-1.
