Product details:
Human MCP3 ELISA Kit (CCL7) (ab193769) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of MCP3 (CCL7) protein in cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human MCP3 (CCL7) with 10.3 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
MCP3 (CCL7) is a monomeric secreted chemotactic factor of intercrine (chemokine cc) family. MCP3 attracts monocytes and eosinophils, but not neutrophils. MCP3 augments monocyte anti-tumor activity. It also induces the release of gelatinase B. MCP3 protein can bind heparin. Binds to CCR1, CCR2 and CCR3.

The target MCP-3 also referred to as CCL7 is a chemotactic cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family. Its molecular weight is approximately 11 kDa. MCP-3 is largely expressed by various cell types including monocytes lymphocytes and endothelial cells. This protein plays an important role in immune system signaling. MCP-3 exhibits chemotactic activity for monocytes T lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells contributing to immune cell recruitment at sites of inflammation.
Biological function summary
MCP-3 interacts with several chemokine receptors such as CCR1 CCR2 and CCR3 allowing for diverse roles in immune response and inflammation. It functions as both a monomer and in conjunction with other chemokines to form heterodimers aiding in the modulation and fine-tuning of the immune response. The presence of MCP-3 in inflammatory tissues indicates its contribution to directing leukocyte migration and positioning therefore supporting both innate and adaptive immunity.
Pathways
MCP-3 is a component of the chemokine signaling pathway and is significant in the regulation of immune surveillance. It interacts closely with proteins such as CCL2 and CCL3 all of which bind to similar receptors like CCR2 and CCR5. MCP-3's involvement in these pathways supports cellular responses to inflammation and infection and its activity has a direct impact on the mobilization and activation of immune cells.
MCP-3 shows associations with conditions marked by inflammation and immune system dysregulation including rheumatoid arthritis and asthma. The protein's influence in these disorders links to other chemokines like MCP-1 (CCL2) which also recruits monocytes and contributes to chronic inflammation. Disruption in MCP-3 expression or function can aggravate disease states by altering the balance of leukocyte trafficking and exacerbating inflammatory responses.
