Background: CXCL1, 2, 3
Cotton rat growth-regulated protein (GRO) is a member of the ELR+ CXC subfamily of chemokines. The cotton rat GRO cDNA encodes a 100 amino acid (aa) precursor protein with a 27 aa putative signal peptide and a 73 aa mature protein.
The predicted amino acid sequence of the mouse KC gene product indicates KC is a member of the CXC subfamily of chemokines. The protein sequence of mouse KC shows approximately 63% identity to that of mouse MIP-2. In addition, the protein sequence of KC is approximately 60% identical to the human GROs. It has been suggested that mouse KC and MIP-2 are the homologs of the human GROs and rat CINCs. KC mRNA is expressed in macrophages, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts.
The rat chemokines CINC (cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant)-1, CINC-2 alpha, CINC-2 beta and CINC-3 constitute a group of rat CXC chemokines that show significant sequence similarity to human GROs and mouse MIP-2 and KC.

Product Summary:
The Quantikine Rat CINC-3 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure rat CINC-3 in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant rat CINC-3 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural rat CINC-3 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for naturally occurring rat CINC-3.
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.
