Analysis of MCP-4 (Non-human primate) by ELISA (CAT#: STEM-MB-1041-LGZ)

Introduction

Monocyte chemotactic proteins (MCPs) are a series of cytokines with similar structure, molecular mass about 8-10kD, and chemotactic function. They all contain 4 cysteines and form two internal disulfide bonds, and belong to the CC subfamily (β subfamily) of chemokines, including MCP-1, MCP-2, MCP-3, MCP-4, MCP-5. MCPs and their receptors play important roles in immune regulation, organogenesis, modulation of hematopoiesis, and neuronal communication. MCP-4 (CCL13) is a potent eosinophil-attractant factor.




Principle

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is an enzyme-labeled solid phase immunoassay technique. Its basic principle is to bind the antigen (or antibody) to the solid phase carrier, and the antigen (or antibody) and a certain enzyme link to enzyme labeled antigen (or antibody). During detection, the sample to be tested and the enzymic antigen (or antibody) react with the antigen (or antibody) on the solid phase carrier according to certain procedures, and then remove the unreacted part by washing method. After adding the substrate, the substrate is catalyzed by the enzyme on the solid phase carrier to produce colored substances. Through qualitative or quantitative detection of the amount of colored products, the content of the substance to be measured in the sample can be determined.

Applications
