Highly pure (>98%) recombinant rat MCP-1

Anti-Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 Antibody is an antibody against Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 for use in ELISA, WB, NEUT.

ELISA: To detect rat MCP-1 (MCAF) by direct ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) a concentration of at lease 0.5 μg/mL of this antibody is required. Should allow detection of 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant rat MCP-1 (MCAF).

Western blot: 0.1 - 0.2 μg/mL, this dilution should offer a detection limit of 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of rat MCP-1 (100 ng/mL), a concentration of 4.0-6.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
