Product Summary
The Quantikine Human MCP-1 Immunoassay is a 3.5 or 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure MCP-1 in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma, and urine. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant human MCP-1 and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to accurately quantitate recombinant human MCP-1. Results obtained using natural human MCP-1 showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human MCP-1.
Precision
Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.

Recovery
The recovery of MCP-1 spiked to three levels throughout the range of the assay was evaluated.
Sample Type | Average % Recovery | Range % |
Cell Culture Media (n=5) | 96 | 88-107 |
Citrate Plasma (n=5) | 100 | 94-107 |
EDTA Plasma (n=5) | 96 | 92-102 |
Heparin Plasma (n=5) | 102 | 94-114 |
Serum (n=5) | 103 | 92-113 |
Urine (n=5) | 92 | 85-100 |
Linearity
To assess the linearity of the assay, samples were spiked with high concentrations of MCP-1 and diluted with the appropriate Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.
Preparation and Storage
Background: CCL2/JE/MCP-1
CCL2/JE/MCP-1, is a chemokine that binds the receptor CCR2 and induces the chemoattraction of mononuclear cells. It induces the activation of monocytes, NK cells, lymphocytes, and basophils. Additionally, CCL2 promotes Th2 polarization in CD4+ T cells, and CCL2-mediated recruitment of monocytes to sites of inflammation contributes to disease severity in atherosclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and allergic asthma. Endogenous proteolytic trimming of CCL2 at the N-terminus, including the N-terminal pyrrolidone carboxylic acid-modified glutamine, downregulates activity but not receptor binding.
