25x Biotin-detection Ab (Human MCP-4 Biotin-dAb). PN: B112500B. One vial containing 100 µL of biotinylated anti-Human MCP-4.

Lyophilized Standard Mix-Human Group 6, Panel B, 12-Plex. PN: HG62013. One vial containing lyophilized recombinant Eotaxin-2, IGFBP-1, IGFBP-7, MCP-4, MDC, MIP-1δ, MIP-3α, MIP-3β, IL-6Rα, IL-1RII, Gp130, and TNFRII. Note: If multiple analyte kits on the above target list are ordered as a panel, only one vial of standard mix is supplied for those analyte kits.

Application: Optimal antibody pair and antigen standard for assaying humanCCL13/SCYA13/MCP-4. Can be multiplexed with other analytes in Human Group 6.  To be used in conjunction with the AimPlex NR Basic Kit (PN: P100001) and a diluent kit. Refer to the AimPlex Multiplex Immunoassay User Manual and kit inserts for the assay procedure.

Storage: 2-8 C in the dark.

Important: Sodium azide forms explosive compounds with heavy metals. These products contain <0.05% (w/w) azide which with repeated contact with lead and copper commonly found in plumbing drains may result in the buildup of shock sensitive compounds. Dispose in accordance with regulations from your institute.

Description:

CCL13 (Chemokine C-C motif ligand 13), previously called monocyte-specific chemokine 4 (MCP4) and small inducible cytokine A13 (SYCA13) is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family. CCL13 induces chemotaxis in monocytes, eosinophils, T lymphocytes, and basophils by binding cell surface G-protein linked chemokine receptors such as CCR2, CCR3 and CCR5. Activity of this chemokine has been implicated in allergic reactions such as asthma. CCL13 can be induced by the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 and TNF-α. Diseases associated with CCL13 include far eastern spotted fever and spotted fever.
