CCL4 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA, WB
Recommend Dilution	WB: 1:500 ELISA: >1:5,000
Reactivity	Porcine
Host	Rabbit
Clonality	Polyclonal
Immunogen	This protein-A purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with recombinant protein raised in yeast, corresponding to the 69 amino acids of the mature swine CCL4/MIP1β protein.
Specificity	This product was Protein-A purified from monospecific antiserum by chromatography. This antibody is specific for swine CCL4 protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with CCL4 from swine sources based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Partial reactivity is expected against horse and panda CCL4 based on 90% homology. Cross-reactivity with CCL4 from other sources has not been determined. The swine CCL4 sequence is also 86% homologous to swine CCL3L1.
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.

Background	In many species, both C-C chemokines macrophage inflammatory protein, or MIP-1 alpha (CCL3L1), and MIP-1 beta (CCL4) are structurally and functionally related CC chemokines. They are both potent chemoattractants for monocytes, which form an important component of the stroma of tumor tissue, and in humans may regulate tumor growth and associated inflammation. They participate in the host response to invading bacterial, viral, parasite and fungal pathogens by regulating the trafficking and activation state of selected subgroups of inflammatory cells e.g. macrophages, lymphocytes and NK cells. Both MIP-1 alpha and MIP-1 beta exert similar effects on monocytes, but their effect on lymphocytes differ. MIP-1 alpha selectively attracts CD8+ lymphocytes, while MIP-1 beta selectively attracts CD4+ lymphocytes. They contain the four highly conserved cysteine residues present in CC chemokines. MIP-1 beta (CCL4) has specificity for CCR5 receptors. In humans, it is also a major HIV-suppressive factor produced by CD8+ T cells.
Synonyms	rabbit anti-MIP 1 beta Antibody, rabbit anti-MIP-1b Antibody, rabbit anti-CCL4 antibody, CCL4, C-C motif chemokine 4, Small-inducible cytokine A4, Macrophage inflammatory protein 1-beta, MIP-1-beta, ACT-2, MIP-1β
Note	This protein-A purified MIP-1β antibody has been tested by western blot and is suitable for ELISA. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 7.8 kDa in size corresponding to swine CCL4 protein by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.
