Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets C-C chemokine receptor type 2 (gene CCR2) in human samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 41.9 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 42 kDa.
CCR2 is the main receptor for the chemokine CCL2 (MCP-1) and also responds to CCL7 and related chemokines. It drives the exit of inflammatory monocytes from the bone marrow and their migration into tissues, and it is widely studied in atherosclerosis, obesity-related inflammation, neuroinflammation and cancer.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Human) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 2–5 µg/mL (Human) |
| Flow cytometry (fixed cells) | 1–3 µg/1×106 cells (Human) |
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HL-60 cells.
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 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human liver cancer tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): hPBMC cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant human CCR2 fragment (Glu18–Phe53), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. UniProt places C-C chemokine receptor type 2 in the cell membrane. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed by monocytes and IL2-activated NK cells. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
