Background of CCL2

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), a member of the chemokine (chemotactic cytokine) family, is a potent monocyte agonist that is upregulated by oxidized lipids. MCP-1 is also known as CCL2, SCYA2, MCAF. MCAF is a member of family of factors involved in immune and inflammatory responses. The amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence reveals the primary structure of the MCAF precursor to be composed of a putative signal peptide sequence of 23 amino acid residues and a mature MCAF sequence of 76 amino acid residues. MCP-1 plays a unique and crucial role in the initiation of atherosclerosis and may provide a new therapeutic target in this disorder. Human MCP-1 is a 8.7KDa non-glycoprotein, consisting of 99 amino acids in precursor form and 76 amino acids in mature form.

8 Customer Q&As for Human MCP-1 / CCL2 ELISA Kit PicoKine®

Question

Q: which procedure should I follow in order to thaw whole blood sample for CCL2 ELISA after freezing?

C. Mitchell

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-09-20

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 CCL2 for a later time, you should let the blood clot in glass tubes and collect the serum to freeze for later use.

Question

Q: how are cell lysates prepared for use in Picokine® ELISA kits?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-03-11

Answer

A: for those Picokine® ELISAs where cell or tissue lysate is a validated sample type, sample preparation instructions for lysate are included in the product insert. Components in lysate and lysis buffer may affect immunoreactivity, so if lysate is not a validated sample type, care must be taken in sample preparation and validation.

Question

Q: Are Boster Bio recombinant proteins and antibodies sterile?

L. Lopez

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-04-02

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 required for an experiment, the material can be filtered through a 0.2 micron filter designed for use with biological fluids.

Question

Q: What is the optimal O.D. value for CCL2 ELISA kit? I used your CCL2 ELISA on serum samples. For my positive control, I received an O.D. value of 0.826, while my negative control received a value of 0.136. I obtained both of these controls from the ELISA kit, where your kit's typical data shows O.D. values much higher than my positive control and your background is lower. My samples O.D. values are around 0.225 and the highest is only 0.357. can I consider these samples contain CCL2 even though the O.D. values are not very high?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2018-05-15

Answer

A: The absolute O.D. values may change according to incubation time. The more you incubate the higher the O.D. values are going to be. an important assessment should be is whether your sample O.D. values are statistically significantly higher than your blank values. regarding your protocol, you could extend your development time in the substrate incubation step to obtain higher O.D. values, as long as your negative controls' O.D. values are not increasing faster in relation to your positive controls. normally, a sample with O.D. value 2 standard deviations higher than your negative controls can be considered positive. We calculate the sensitivity of this ELISA kit by changeing cutoff O.D. value, calculated as the average of 20 negative controls plus 2 standard deviations of the 20 negative controls, into a concentration. in other words, when we claim this CCL2 ELISA kit to have sensitivity of 1pg/ml, that means the minimum amount of CCL2 that can be declared/interpreted as positive by the above standard is 1pg/ml.

Question

Q: can I use citrate plasma as samples in Human CCL2 Picokine® ELISA Kit (Catalog # EK0441)?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2018-04-02

Answer

A: Chelating agents such as EDTA, Heparin and Citrate can sequester metal ions from the functional domain of CCL2 causing disruption of its protein structure. CCL2 may be denatured as a result and may compromise the assay's measurements. The chilating sites could also be too close to the epitopes a must for detection and block the antigen antibody reaction. We have tested the CCL2 ELISA, treating samples with a number of 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: if the enzyme conjugated CCL2 antibodies are mixed with the substrate, will that change the substrate into the enzymatic reaction product? Or the enzyme function is only activated when the antibody is attached with the CCL2 antigen?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2017-01-30

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

What serum dilution should be used for this antibody EK0441? I will be using human serum samples.

Asked: 2013-09-23

We recommend to assay the human serum samples neat with standard buffer. The serum must be 2 fold dilution.
