INTENDED USE AND DESCRIPTION: For use a quantitative control for the determination of human CCL11/Eotaxin concentrations in biological fluids. Controls are supplied lyophilized. Please refer to the lot specific certificate of analysis and Simple Plex Lyophilized Quality Control product insert for additional information.
CCL11/Eotaxin is a chemokine that interacts with CCR3 to induce eosinophil, basophil, dendritic cell, and Th2 cell chemoattraction during inflammatory and allergic reactions. Its production is upregulated in airway epithelium, alveolar macrophages, eosinophils, smooth muscle cells, chondrocytes, and fibroblasts following allergen or inflammatory challenge. CCL11 is also involved in the growth of myeloid cell progenitors and the differentiation of mast cells.
