Product details:
Mouse MCP3 ELISA Kit (CCL7) ab205571 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Mouse MCP3 (CCL7)in cell culture supernatant, plasma, serum. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 1.53 pg/mL.
How the assay works
Mouse MCP3 (CCL7)SimpleStep ELISA
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.
Assay Specificity
Our SimpleStep ELISA
kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

MCP3, also known as CCL7, belongs to the C-C chemokine family. MCP3 attracts monocytes, eosinophils, NK cells, T-lymphocytes, but not neutrophils. The ability of MCP3 to interact with various immune cell types are explained by the molecule’s ability to interact with various chemokine receptors. The chemokines known to interact with MCP3 include CCR1, CCR2, and CCR3. MCP3 also augments monocyte anti-tumor activity, and has been implicated in various studies investigating cancer metastasis.

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.
