Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes C-C motif chemokine 2 (gene Ccl2) in mouse and rat samples and is validated for ELISA and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 16.5 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 11 kDa.
CCL2 (also called MCP-1) is a C-C chemokine that recruits monocytes, memory T cells and basophils by binding the receptor CCR2. It is induced at sites of inflammation and tissue injury and is one of the most studied chemokines in atherosclerosis, obesity, fibrosis, neuroinflammation and the tumor microenvironment.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
|---|---|
| ELISA (capture antibody) | 1–5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat pancreas tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:10000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Recombinant rat CCL2 fragment (Gln24–Arg96), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with mouse and rat. UniProt describes C-C motif chemokine 2 as a secreted protein. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
