Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes C-C motif chemokine 2 (gene CCL2) in human samples and is validated for ELISA, IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 11.0 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.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): SW620 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE, 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 MCP-1 fragment (Gln24–Thr99), expressed in E. coli. Sequence identity with the mouse and rat orthologs: 60.9% and 59.4%, respectively.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. UniProt describes C-C motif chemokine 2 as a secreted protein. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in the seminal plasma, endometrial fluid and follicular fluid (at protein level). The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
