Description
CCL4 (MIP-1β) is a CC chemokine with specificity for CCR5; the page notes chemoattraction of NK cells/monocytes and highlights CCL4 as a major HIV-suppressive factor produced by CD8+ T cells. Assay context: quantitative ELISA with sensitivity <1 pg/mL and assay range 7.8–500 pg/mL; validated sample types include cell culture supernatants, serum, and plasma (heparin/EDTA/citrate), supporting high-sensitivity inflammatory chemokine profiling (research use). Often analyzed alongside inflammatory S100 proteins such as S100A12 and macrophage-lineage context markers like CD163 or CSF1R when interpreting myeloid recruitment/activation (putative); multiplexing considerations are commonly discussed under multiplex assay workflows.
Storage & Handling
Store at 4°C for 6 months, at -20°C for 12 months. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles (Ships with gel ice, can store for up to 3 days in room temperature. Freeze upon receiving.)

Background of CCL4
Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 4, also known as CCL4, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CCL4 gene. It is a CC chemokine with specificity for CCR5 receptors. It is a chemoattractant for natural killer cells, monocytes and a variety of other immune cells. CCL4 is a major HIV-suppressive factor produced by CD8+ T cells. Performing-low memory CD8+ T cells that normally synthesize MIP-1-beta. the CCL4 gene was assigned to a slightly more distal location: 17q21-q23 rather than 17q11-q21.

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency
We measured random samples of Human CCL4/MIP-1 Beta ELISA Kit PicoKine® within the same batch/lot to ensure the consistency of the kits' performances. ELISA intra assay consistency is measured using wells from the same plate/assay kit. ELISA inter assay consistency is measured using wells from different plates from the same batch production/lot.

8 Customer Q&As for Human CCL4/MIP-1 Beta ELISA Kit PicoKine®
Question
Q: for how much duration can samples (cell cultures, serum, and plasma) be stored and still be stable for measurement CCL4 using the EK0450 Human CCL4 Picokine® ELISA Kit?
S. Baker
Verified customer
Asked: 2020-06-19
Answer
A: Boster Bio does not assess sample stability. Variations in sample collection, processing, and storage may change the stabilityof samples. It is recommend to assay sample on priority basis collection when possible, or aliquot into single use volumes and store samples frozen. avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles with the stored samples in order to limit protein degradation.

Question
Q: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2019-01-02
Answer
A: although the vials are bottled using aseptic techniques, heat-treated vials, and sterile stock solutions, they are not considered or guaranteed to be sterile. If sterile material is a must for an experiment, the material can be filtered through a 0.2 micron filter designed for use with biological fluids.

Question
Q: can I use citrate plasma as samples in Human CCL4 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0450)?
W. Mitchell
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-04-28
Answer
A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can bind metal ions from the functional domain of CCL4 causing disruption of its protein structure. CCL4 may be denatured as a result and may compromise the assay's measurements. The chilating sites could also be too close to the epitopes needed for detection and block the antigen antibody reaction. We have tested the CCL4 ELISA, treating samples with different anticoagulants and decided that heparin, EDTA or citrate can be used for treatment of blood/plasma samples. Do not use other anticoagulents when collecting samples.

Question
Q: how much samples can be assayed in a Picokine® ELISA Kit?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-04-11
Answer
A: The Picokine® ELISA Kits will generally run a 7-point standard curve, non-specific binding wells, and 39 samples in duplicate. this may vary slightly by kit so please refer to each datasheet for details.

Question
Q: if the enzyme conjugated CCL4 antibodies are mixed with the substrate, will that convert the substrate into the enzymatic reaction product? Or the enzyme function is only activated when the antibody is attached with the CCL4 antigen?
W. Nelson
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-10-30
Answer
A: The enzyme is always active. Avoid contaminating the substrate with enzyme prior to the incubation otherwise it compromises the assay with false positive signal.

Question
Q: which procedure should I follow in order to thaw whole blood sample for CCL4 ELISA after freezing?
A. Babu
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-09-04
Answer
A: do not freeze and thaw whole blood. erythrocytes are fragile and, if frozen and thawed, will undergo hemolysis rendering the samples useless. To keep your blood samples to test CCL4 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and collect the serum to freeze for later use.
