Product Description

In sandwich ELISAs, less than 0.05% cross-reactivity with recombinant human (rh) MIP-1 beta, rhMIP-1 gamma, rhMIP-3 alpha, rhMIP-3 beta, and recombinant mouse (rm) MIP-1 alpha is observed. This antibody neutralizes the biological activity of recombinant human CCL3/MIP-1 alpha. In the chemotaxis assay this antibody will also partially neutralize the biological activity of rhMIP-1 beta at a 20 fold higher IgG concentration. This antibody will not neutralize the biological activity of rmMIP-1 beta or rmMIP-1 alpha. Reconstitute at 0.2 mg/mL in sterile PBS. Endoxin level is <0.10 EU per 1 µg of the antibody by the LAL method. Both MIP-1alpha and MIP-1beta are structurally and functionally related CC chemokines. They participate in host response to invading bacterial, viral, parasite and fungal pathogens by regulating the trafficking and activation state of selected subgroups of inflammatory cells (e.g. macrophages, lymphocytes and NK cells). While both MIP-1alpha and MIP-1beta exert similar effects on monocytes, their effect on lymphocytes differ; with MIP-1alpha selectively attracting CD8+ lymphocytes, and MIP-1beta selectively attracting CD4+ lymphocytes. Additionally, MIP-1alpha and MIP-1beta have also been shown to be potent chemoattractants for B cells, eosinoph
