Human CCL2/MCP1 ELISA Kit (Colorimetric) Summary
The assay detects both natural and recombinant human MCP-1. The cross reactivity of circulating factors of the immune system was evaluated by spiking these proteins at physiologically relevant concentrations into a human MCP- 1 positive serum. There was no cross reactivity detected, namely not with MCP-3.

Background
MCP-1was characterized as a monocyte-specific chemoattractant that was later shown to attract also T lymphocytes and NK cells. The human mature MCP-1 protein consists of 76 amino acids, derived by cleavage of a hydrophobic signal peptide from the 99 aa precursor protein. MCP-1 is mainly expressed by macrophages in response to a wide range of cytokines such as IL-6, TNF-alpha and IL-1beta, but can, upon stimulation, also be produced by a variety of cells and tissues, such as fibroblasts, endothelial cells or certain tumor cells. Because of its target cell specificity, MCP-1 was postulated to play a pathogenic role in a variety of diseases characterized by mononuclear cell infiltration, including atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and allergic responses. In basophils, MCP-1 is highly effective as a stimulus of histamine release but has only weak chemotactic activity. Additionally it has been shown to chemoattract CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, and expression of the MCP-1 chemokine may affect HIV infection via signaling through the CCR2 receptor.
