Anti-C-C motif chemokine 2 CCL2 Antibody

CCL2, also known as monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP1), belongs to the intercrine beta (chemokine CC) family. It is produced by a variety of cell types and is a potent chemoattractant for monocytes, memory T lymphocytes, and natural killer (NK) cells. It is upregulated during infection and inflammation. CCL2 is a potent basophil activator but does not affect eosinophils, whereas the related protein MCP2 stimulates both eosinophils and basophils. MCP3 has been shown to have the broadest range of influence. CCL2 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases characterized by monocytic infiltrates, like psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis or atherosclerosis.

Rabbit polyclonal CCL2 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human CCL2. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of CCL2.

Chemotactic factor that attracts monocytes and basophils but not neutrophils or eosinophils. Augments monocyte anti-tumor activity. Has been implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases characterized by monocytic infiltrates, like psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis or atherosclerosis. May be involved in the recruitment of monocytes into the arterial wall during the disease process of atherosclerosis.
