Human MIP-3 alpha - CCL20 AccuSignal ELISA Kit

• Natural and recombinant human MIP-3 alpha.
• There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins.
• Expression system for standard: E.coli; Immunogen sequence:  A27-M96

Macrophage Inflammatory Protein 3alpha(MIP3alpha), also called Chemokine, cc motif, ligand 20(CCL20). The MIP-3alpha/CCL20 gene was cloned and sequenced, revealing a four exon, three intron structure, and was localized by FISH analysis to 2q35-q36. MIP3alpha is predominantly expressed in lymph nodes, appendix, PBL, fetal liver, fetal lung and several cell lines. MIP3alpha/CCL20 and its receptor CCR6 are markedly up-regulated in psoriasis, and they may play a role in the recruitment of T cells to lesional psoriatic skin. And Alanine MIP-3alpha and Serine MIP-3alpha, the two forms of MIP3alpha, that differ by one amino acid at the predicted signal peptide cleavage site. Both of them were chemically synthesized and tested for biological activity. And both flu antigen plus IL-2-activated CD4(+) and CD8(+) T lymphoblasts and cord blood-derived dendritic cells responded to Ser and Ala MIP-3alpha.

Useful in Sandwich ELISA for Quantitative Detection of Antigen. Aliquot 0.1ml per well of the 1000pg/ml, 500pg/ml, 250pg/ml, 125pg/ml, 62.5pg/ml, 31.2pg/ml, 15.6pg/ml human MIP-3 alpha standard solutions into the precoated 96-well plate. Add 0.1ml of the sample diluent buffer into the control well (Zero well). Add 0.1ml of each properly diluted sample of human cell culture supernates, serum or plasma(heparin, EDTA) to each empty well. It is recommended that each human MIP-3 alpha standard solution and each sample be measured in duplicate.
