Product overview
Mouse MCP2 ELISA Kit (CCL8) (ab203366) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of MCP2 (CCL8) protein in cell culture extracts, cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse MCP2 (CCL8) with 1 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells stripsA 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Notes
MCP2 is a chemotactic factor that attracts monocytes. Chemokines and their receptors, in conjunction with adhesion molecules and their ligands, provide cues to enable tissue-specific homing of T cells in the steady state and during inflammation. Mouse MCP specifically induces migration of a population of recently activated, highly differentiated TH2 cells enriched in interleukin 5 (IL-5) and the IL-25 receptor (IL-25R), cytokines implicated in eosinophilic inflammation; as well as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and OX40, molecules associated with inflammatory TH2 cells. Using a model of atopic dermatitis, we demonstrate a pathologic role for CCR8 and mouse CCL8, but not for the TH2-associated chemokine receptor CCR4 or the previously known mouse CCR8 chemokine ligand mouse CCL1 (TCA3), in mediating chronic cutaneous allergic inflammation.

Function
Chemotactic factor that attracts monocytes, lymphocytes, basophils and eosinophils. May play a role in neoplasia and inflammatory host responses. This protein can bind heparin. The processed form MCP-2(6-76) does not show monocyte chemotactic activity, but inhibits the chemotactic effect most predominantly of CCL7, and also of CCL2 and CCL5 and CCL8. -
Tissue specificity
Highest expression found in the small intestine and peripheral blood cells. Intermediate levels seen in the heart, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle, thymus, colon, ovary, spinal cord and pancreas. Low levels seen in the brain, liver, spleen and prostate. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the intercrine beta (chemokine CC) family. -
Post-translational
modificationsN-terminal processed form MCP-2(6-76) is produced by proteolytic cleavage after secretion from peripheral blood monocytes. -

Titration of mouse stimulated lung supernatant, unstimulated lung supernatant, stimulated spleen supernatant, and unstimulated spleen supernatant.Titration of mouse stimulated (100 ng/mL LPS + 50 ng/mL PMA, 3 days (+)) lung supernatant, unstimulated (-) lung supernatant, stimulated (5 µg/mL LPS, 6 Days (+)) spleen supernatant, and unstimulated (-) spleen supernatant. A blank cell culture media control was also analyzed, and was negative. The 1X dilution was 10.0% for the stimulated supernatants, and 20.0% for the unstimulated supernatants. Interpolated data values (mean +/- SD, n = 2) are graphed.
