MCP-1, also known as monocyte chemotactic and activating factor (MCAF), was initially purified based on its ability to chemoattract monocytes. Subsequent to its cloning and sequencing, it became evident that this protein is also identical to the product of the human JE gene. The JE gene, originally identified in mouse fibroblasts, is a platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-inducible gene.

Product Summary:
The Quantikine Mouse/Rat CCL2/MCP-1 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure MCP-1 in mouse or rat cell culture supernates and serum. It contains E. coli-expressed mouse MCP-1 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This Immunoassay has been shown to accurately quantitate recombinant mouse MCP-1. Results obtained using natural mouse or rat MCP-1 showed dose response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine mouse kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural MCP-1.
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.

Linearity:
To assess the linearity of the assay, samples containing and/or spiked with high concentrations of MCP-1 in each matrix were diluted with Calibrator Diluent and then assayed.
