Macrophage Inflammatory Protein 3 alpha (CCL20) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: 3N2D9]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	3N2D9
Applications	WB
Recommend Dilution	WB: 0.5µg/mL
Reactivity	Human
Host	Mouse
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	Anti-MIP-3α (MOUSE) Monoclonal Antibody was produced in mouse by repeated immunizations with mature full length recombinant human MIP-3α produced in E.coli followed by hybridoma development.
Specificity	Anti-MIP-3α was purified from clarified mouse ascetic fluid by Protein A chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above. This antibody is specific for human MIP-3α protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with MIP-3α from human sources based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with MIP-3α from other sources has not been determined.
Formulation	0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2
Concentration	1.0 mg/mL - lot specific
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Store vial at -20° C or below prior to opening. This vial contains a relatively low volume of reagent (25 µL). To minimize loss of volume dilute 1:10 by adding 225 µL of the buffer stated above directly to the vial. Recap, mix thoroughly and briefly centrifuge to collect the volume at the bottom of the vial. Use this intermediate dilution when calculating final dilutions as recommended below. Store the vial at -20°C or below after dilution. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.
Gene Name	C-C motif chemokine ligand 20
Database Link	Entrez Gene 6364 Human UniProt ID P78556
Background	MIP-3α (also known as C-C motif chemokine 20, small-inducible cytokine A20, macrophage inflammatory protein 3 alpha, MIP-3-alpha, liver and activation-regulated chemokine, CC chemokine LARC and beta chemokine exodus-1) is a chemotactic factor that attracts lymphocytes and, slightly, neutrophils, but not monocytes. MIP-3α inhibits proliferation of myeloid progenitors in colony formation assays and may be involved in formation and function of the mucosal lymphoid tissues by attracting lymphocytes and dendritic cells towards epithelial cells. C-terminal processed forms have been shown to be equally chemotactically active for leukocytes. MIP-3α also possesses antibacterial activity against E.coli and S.aureus. MIP-3α is a secreted protein that is expressed predominantly in the liver, lymph nodes, appendix, peripheral blood lymphocytes, and fetal lung. Low levels of expression are also seen in thymus, prostate, testis, small intestine and colon. C-terminal processed forms which lack 1, 3 or 6 amino acids are produced by proteolytic cleavage after secretion from peripheral blood monocytes.
Synonyms	mouse anti-MIP-3 alpha Antibody, mouse anti-MIP-3a Antibody, MIP-3α , CCL20, C-C motif chemokine 20, small-inducible cytokine A20, macrophage inflammatory protein 3 alpha, MIP-3-alpha, liver and activation-regulated chemokine, CC chemokine LARC and beta chemokine exodus-1
Note	Anti-Human MIP-3α antibody has been tested by western blot and is suitable for use in ELISA, IP, and Neutralization. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user.
