Nori Hamster CCL2 ELISA Kit
$461.00 – $832.00
This ELISA kit is for quantification of CCL2 in hamster. This is a quick ELISA assay that reduces time to 50% compared to the conventional method, and the entire assay only takes 3 hours. This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique and uses biotin-streptavidin chemistry to improve the performance of the assays. An antibody specific for CCL2 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any CCL2 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, a detection antibody specific for CCL2 is added to the wells. Following wash to remove any unbound antibody reagent, a detection reagent is added. After intensive wash a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of CCL2 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped, and the intensity of the color is measured.
Alternative names for CCL2: Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 , monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), small inducible cytokine A2

Background:
Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2), also known as monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) or small inducible cytokine A2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CCL2 gene. CCL2 is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family. CCL2 recruits monocytes, memory T cells, and dendritic cells to sites of tissue injury, infection, and inflammation (1, 2). The cell surface receptors that bind CCL2 are CCR2 and CCR4 (3). CCL2 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases characterized by monocytic infiltrates, like psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis (4). CCL2 is involved in the neuroinflammatory processes that takes place in various central nervous system (CNS) diseases characterized by neuronal degeneration. Its expression by glial cells is increased in epilepsy, brain ischemia Alzheimer’s disease experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), and traumatic brain injury. CCL2 induces amylin expression through ERK1/ERK2/JNK-AP1 and NF-κB related signaling pathways independent of CCR2. Amylin upregulation by CCL2 may contribute to elevation of plasma amylin in obesity and insulin resistance (5).
