Human MIP-1 alpha ELISA Kit

Natural and recombinant human MIP-1 alpha. There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins. Macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha(MIP-1 alpha), also called CCL3, LD78. The cDNA for MIP-1 alpha predicts a mature peptide of 69 amino acids with a molecular mass of 7,889 daltons. LD78 is a member of a newly identified superfamily of small inducible proteins involved in inflammatory responses, wound healing and tumorigenesis. MIP-1 alpha is a chemokine that has pro-inflammatory and stem cell inhibitory activities in vitro. It constitutes an important second signal for mast cell degranulation in the conjunctiva in vivo and consequently for acute-phase disease. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant human MIP-1alpha, consisting of 66 amino acids with the molecular mass of 7.5kDa.
