BioVision’s Human MCP-1 (Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 also called Monocyte chemotactic protein-1) or chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of human MCP-1. This assay employs an antibody specific for human MCP-1 coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and MCP-1 present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and biotinylated anti-human MCP-1 antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of MCP-1 bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm. This ELISA kit shows no cross-reactivity with any of the following cytokines tested: human BDNF, BLC, ENA-78, FGF-4, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-7, IL-8, IL-9, IL-10, IL-11, IL-12 p70, IL-12 p40, IL-13, IL-15, IL-309, IP-10, G-CSF, GM-CSF, IFN-γ, Leptin (OB), MCP-2, MCP-3, MDC, MIP-1α, MIP-1 β, MIP-1δ, PARC, PDGF, RANTES, SCF, TARC, TGF-β, TIMP-1, TIMP-2, TNF-α, TNF-β, TPO, VEGF. The minimum detectable dose of MCP-1 is typically less than 2 pg/ml. Detection Range: 2 pg/ml – 500 pg/ml. The intra-Assay reproducibility is CV<10% & inter-Assay is CV<12%.
