MCP-1 ELISA Kit (Rat)

INTENDED USE

Rat MCP-1 ELISA kit is intended for detecting qualitative concentrations of rat monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP1, MCP-1) using urine, serum and cell media supernatant. This assay has a minimum sensitivity detection limit of 40.0 pg/ml.

BACKGROUND

Monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) is also sometimes referred to as small inducible cytokine A2 or chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2). It is a monomeric peptide (approx. 13kDa) and has a primary role of recruiting monocytes, dendritic and memory T cells to the sites of inflammation. PDGF has been found to be a major inducer of the CCL2 gene and it has been implicated in the pathogeneses of a number of diseases which are characteristic of monocytic infiltration, examples include: rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and atherosclerosis.

SENSITIVITY

The minimum sensitivity detection limit of rat monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP1) using current rat MCP-1 ELISA kit is 40.0 pg/ml. The dynamic range for this assay is 50.0 – 3,200.0 pg/ml.
