Background:CCL12/MCP-5
Mouse MCP-5, also known as CCL12, encodes a 104 amino acid (aa) precursor protein with a 22 aa hydrophobic signal sequence that is cleaved to generate a 82 aa residue mature protein. MCP-5 is expressed constitutively in the thymus and lymph nodes. Under inflammatory conditions, MCP-5 expression is also induced in activated macrophages and mast cells.

Product Summary:
The Quantikine Mouse MCP-5 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure mouse MCP-5 levels in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant mouse MCP-5 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. Results obtained for naturally occurring mouse MCP-5 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural mouse MCP-5.
Precision:
Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay)Three samples of known concentration were tested on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays)Three samples of known concentration were tested in separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.

Recovery:
The recovery of mouse MCP-5 spiked to three levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.

Linearity:
To assess the linearity of the assay, six samples containing and/or spiked with high concentrations of mouse MCP-5 in each matrix were diluted with Calibrator Diluent and then assayed.
