Human CCL18/PARC ELISA Kit EZ-Set™ (DIY Antibody Pairs)

Human CCL18/PARC ELISA Kit EZ-Set™ (DIY Antibody Pairs)

• Background: Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 18 (CCL18) is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family that was previously called PARC (pulmonary and activation-regulated chemokine). CCL18 is approximately 60% identical in amino acid sequence to CCL3. By analysis of a previously mapped CCL18 from 17q11.2, it is determined that the PARC gene is located within 1 of the 2 clusters of CC chemokine genes in this region. It is expressed at high levels in lung and at lower levels in certain lymphoid tissues, such as the lymph nodes, and is chemotactic for activated T cells and nonactivated lymphocytes. Beside, CCL18 recruits Th2 cells and basophils and may play a predominant role in allergic asthma.

• Gene ID: 6362
• UniProt: P55774
• Reactivity: Human
• Cross Reactivity: There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins.
• Immunogen: Expression system for standard: E.coli; Immunogen sequence: A21-A89
• Applications: ELISA
• Sample Type: cell culture supernatants and serum.
• Detection Range: 7.8 pg/ml - 500 pg/ml
• Function: Chemotactic factor that attracts lymphocytes but not monocytes or granulocytes. May be involved in B-cell migration into B-cell follicles in lymph nodes. Attracts naive T-lymphocytes toward dendritic cells and activated macrophages in lymph nodes, has chemotactic activity for naive T-cells, CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells and thus may play a role in both humoral and cell-mediated immunity responses. .
• Storage Conditions: 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.)
• Calculated Molecular Weight: 9849 MW
• Specificity: Natural and recombinant human CCL18/PARC
