Scientific Data Images for Mouse CCL2/JE/MCP-1 Antibody

Chemotaxis Induced by CCL2/JE and Neutralization by Mouse CCL2/JE Antibody.

Recombinant Mouse CCL2/JE (Catalog # 479-JE) chemoattracts the BaF3 mouse pro-B cell line transfected with human CCR2A in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). The amount of cells that migrated through to the lower chemotaxis chamber was measured by Resazurin (Catalog # AR002). Chemotaxis elicited by Recombinant Mouse CCL2/JE (40 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Mouse CCL2/JE Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB479). The ND₅₀ is typically 0.75-3.0 µg/mL.

Detection of Mouse CCL2/JE/MCP-1 by Immunohistochemistry

Tryptase directly induced the expression of angiogenic factors in retinal endothelial cells.(F) Addition of recombinant mMCP6 into the culture of primary retinal endothelial cells induced typical tube formation. The effect of mMCP6 was suppressed by addition of anti-MCP1 mAbs. n = 4 in each group. *P < 0.05 versus rat isotype mAb, Dunnett’s test.

Background: CCL2/JE/MCP-1

Mouse CCL2 is a member of the beta (C-C) subfamily of chemokines. The mouse CCL2 gene was initially identified as a platelet-derived growth factor-inducible gene in mouse fibroblasts. Mouse CCL2 cDNA encodes a 148 amino acid (aa) residue with a putative 23 aa signal peptide that is cleaved to generate the mature protein. Mouse CCL2 shares 82% amino acid sequence identity with rat CCL2. Mouse CCL2 also shares 55% amino acid sequence identity with human MCP-1. Compared to human MCP-1, mouse CCL2 has a 49 aa residue extension at the carboxy-terminus. When a DNA sequence encoding the 125 aa residue of the mature CCL2 protein was expressed in E. coli at R&D Systems, the purified protein had the predicted N-terminus but a mass of 8525 Da. The truncation of most of the C-terminal extension could be due either to purification artifact or to post-translational modification. The truncated recombinant CCL2 has a potency similar to that of human MCP-1 in the monocyte chemotaxis assay. Mouse CCL2 has full activity on human cells while human MCP-1 has limited activity on mouse cells.
