MCP-5 Antibody (16Q07) is a rat monoclonal IgG2a antibody that detects MCP-5 protein of mouse and rat origin by western blotting (WB) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-MCP-5 antibody (16Q07) is available as a non-conjugated format. MCP-5, also known as C-C motif chemokine ligand 12, plays a crucial role in immune response by mediating chemotaxis of various immune cells, particularly during inflammatory processes. MCP-5 is primarily produced by activated T lymphocytes in response to cytokines such as interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and interferon-gamma. MCP-5′s ability to attract specific subpopulations of lymphocytes is vital for orchestrating immune response, especially in lung allergic inflammation, where MCP-5 is believed to be involved in early stages of inflammatory cascade. Understanding MCP-5 function is essential for developing therapeutic strategies aimed at modulating immune responses in allergic diseases and other inflammatory conditions.
