Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets C-C motif chemokine 4 (gene CCL4) in human samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 10.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 15 kDa.
CCL4, also known as MIP-1β, is a CC chemokine produced by activated monocytes, macrophages and CD8+ T cells. It acts mainly through CCR5 to attract immune cells to sites of inflammation, and by occupying CCR5 it can block entry of CCR5-tropic HIV-1, which makes it a frequent target in immunology and HIV research.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human THP-1 cells, human CCL4 recombinant protein.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 12% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 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.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Immunogen
Recombinant human CCL4 fragment (Ala24–Asn92), expressed in E. coli. Sequence identity with the mouse and rat orthologs: 76.8% and 79.7%, respectively.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. UniProt describes C-C motif chemokine 4 as a secreted protein. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
