Product Summary for Human CCL2/MCP-1 Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Human MCP-1 Immunoassay is a 3.5 or 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure MCP-1 in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma, and urine. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant human MCP-1 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to accurately quantitate recombinant human MCP-1. Results obtained using natural human MCP-1 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human MCP-1.

Sample Values

Serum/Plasma/Urine - Samples from apparently healthy volunteers were evaluated for the presence of human MCP-1 in this assay. No medical histories were available for the donors used in this study. The reported urine values are actual and are not normalized for creatinine content.

Sample TypeMean (pg/mL)Range (pg/mL)
Serum (n=37)370200-722

Cell Culture Supernates - Human peripheral blood leukocytes were cultured in RPMI 1640 and supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. The cells were cultured unstimulated or stimulated with 10 μg/mL PHA for 2 or 5 days. Aliquots of the cell culture supernates were removed and assayed for levels of human MCP-1.

Precision

Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.

Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.

Linearity

To assess the linearity of the assay, samples were spiked with high concentrations of MCP-1 and diluted with the appropriate Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Background: CCL2/JE/MCP-1

CCL2/JE/MCP-1, is a chemokine that binds the receptor CCR2 and induces the chemoattraction of mononuclear cells. It induces the activation of monocytes, NK cells, lymphocytes, and basophils. Additionally, CCL2 promotes Th2 polarization in CD4+ T cells, and CCL2-mediated recruitment of monocytes to sites of inflammation contributes to disease severity in atherosclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and allergic asthma. Endogenous proteolytic trimming of CCL2 at the N-terminus, including the N-terminal pyrrolidone carboxylic acid-modified glutamine, downregulates activity but not receptor binding.
