EliKine™ Human CCL3 ELISA Kit

Macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha), also called CCL3, LD78. The cDNA for MIP-1 alpha predicts a mature peptide of 69 amino acids with a molecular mass of 7,889 daltons. LD78 is a member of a newly identified superfamily of small inducible proteins involved in inflammatory responses, wound healing and tumorigenesis. MIP-1 alpha is a chemokine that has proinflammatory and stem cell inhibitory activities in vitro. It constitutes an important second signal for mast cell degranulation in the conjunctiva in vivo and consequently for acute-phase disease

EliKine™ Human CCL3 ELISA Kit has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human CCL3. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human CCL3 and analogues was observed.

EliKine™ Human CCL3 ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate CCL3 in samples. An antibody specific for CCL3 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any CCL3 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for CCL3 is added to the wells. After washing, proprietary EliKine™ Streptavidin-HRP conjugates is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound streptavidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of CCL3 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.

• Do not mix components from different kit lots or use reagents beyond the kit expiration date.• Allow all reagents to warm to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before opening.• Pre-rinse the pipet tip with reagent, use fresh pipet tips for each sample, standard and reagent to avoid contamination.• Unused wells must be kept desiccated at 4 °C in the sealed bag provided.• Mix Thoroughly is very important for the result. It is recommended using low frequency oscillator or slight hand shaking every 10 minutes.• It is recommended that all samples and standards be assayed in duplicate or triplicate.
