Purified Recombinant Human MIP-1α (Accession # P10147)
Endotoxin Level
< 0.1 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method
Formulation
This monoclonal antibody has been 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 - 7.3 containing 5.0% w/v trehalose with no calcium, magnesium or preservatives present.
Storage and Handling
The lyophilized antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for up to twelve months. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted antibody, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months.

Applications and Recommended Usage?
Quality Tested by Leinco
Western Blotting: To detect Human MIP-1α this monoclonal antibody can be used at a concentration of 1-2 µg/ml. This monoclonal antibody should be used in conjunction with compatible second-step reagents such as PN:M114 and a chromogenic substrate such as PN:T343. The detection limit for Human MIP-1α is 20 ng/lane under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. The sensitivity of detection may increase up to 50 fold when a chemiluminescent substrate is used. A suitable Western blotting control is PN:L145.
Other Applications Reported In Literature ?
Neutralization: This antibody is useful for neutralization of Human CCL3 bioactivity. The antibody dose required to neutralize 50% (ND50) of the biological activity of Human CCL3 (at 100 ng/ml) is 0.5-1.5 µg/ml.
Immunocytochemistry: Suitable for use at concentration of8-25 µg/mL.
Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change.
Description
Specificity
Mouse Anti-Human Macrophage Inflammatory Protein 1 Alpha (MIP-1α) (Clone 93321) recognizes an epitope on Human MIP-1α. This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype.
Background
Macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha) is a potent inhibitor of hemopoietic stem cell proliferation and is a member of a family of pro- inflammatory mediators, the chemokine family.1 MIP-1 alpha is a particularly interesting chemokine, because in addition to its proinflammatory activities, it inhibits the proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells.2 The role of MIP-1 alpha seems to be related to production of TNF-alpha, which in turn up-regulates vascular adhesion molecules required for neutrophil influx.3
