Components:

45x Ab-conjugated beads (S5P3 - Mouse MIP-1β Ab-bead). PN: A212197A. One vial containing 100 µL of anti-mouse MIP-1β conjugated to AimPlex Bead S5P3.

25x Biotin-detection Ab (Mouse MIP-1β Biotin-dAb). PN: A212197B. One vial containing 100 µL of biotinylated anti-mouse MIP-1β.

Lyophilized Standard Mix - Mouse Group 2 Panel B, 8-Plex. PN: MG20008. One vial containing lyophilized recombinant mouse G-CSF, GM-CSF, IL-28A/B, M-CSF, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, OSM, and TSLP.  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 human Mouse CCL4/SCYA4/MIP-1β. Can be multiplexed with other analytes in Mouse Group 2. To be used in conjunction with the AimPlex Mouse/Rat Basic Kit (PN: P200201) 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:

Macrophage inflammatory protein-1β (Accession P14097) is a CC chemokine. Also known as CCL4, it is produced by neutrophils, monocytes, T & B cells, and endothelial and epithelial cells. MIP-1β acts as a chemoattractant for various types of immune cells and in conjunction with RANTES and MIP-1α, is a major HIV-suppressive factor. Its receptor, CCR5 stimulates production of IL-2 and IFN-γ, both of which have been observed in patients with sarcoidosis. Concentration of MIP-1β within the body increases with age, while it also maintains an inverse relationship to the concentration of MicroRNA-125b. Elevated levels of MIP-1β has been correlated to patients with Kawasaki disease.
