Product details:
Human MIP5 ELISA Kit (ab217774) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of MIP5 protein in cell culture extracts, cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, other biological fluids, serum, and tissue extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human MIP5 with 27.1 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.
MIP5 is a secreted monomeric chemotactic factor that attracts T-cells and monocytes, but not neutrophils, eosinophils, or B-cells. MIP5 acts mainly via CC chemokine receptor CCR1. It also binds to CCR3. MIP5 can be cleaved into 3 chains, MIP5(22-92), MIP5(25-92) and MIP5(29-92). These cleavage products are more potent chemo-attractants than MIP5. They are also found in high levels in synovial fluids from rheumatoid patients.

Macrophage inflammatory protein 5 (MIP-5) also known as CCL15 is a chemokine involved in immune system function. It plays an important role in recruiting and activating certain immune cells such as monocytes and lymphocytes. Its molecular mass is approximately 13.5 kDa. MIP-5 is produced mainly by monocytes and macrophages and can be found in the liver and several other tissues. This protein mediates inflammation by guiding immune cells to sites of infection or injury where they can perform immune defense activities.
Biological function summary
MIP-5 is involved in the chemotactic movement of immune cells a process where cells move in response to chemical stimuli. It is not part of a protein complex but interacts dynamically with cell surface receptors to induce cellular responses. MIP-5 triggers cells to release further signaling molecules increasing the inflammatory response's effectiveness. This chemokine creates a highly coordinated immune response by initiating a signaling cascade that helps maintain immune surveillance and response to pathogens.
Pathways
MIP-5 plays a role in the chemokine signaling pathway where it interacts with specific receptors that lead to cellular migration and activation. It also fits into the cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway influencing a range of cellular responses tied to immune function. MIP-5 shares functional properties with other chemokines like MCP-1 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1) which similarly attract immune cells and mediate immune responses.
MIP-5 is linked to inflammatory diseases and certain types of cancer. Elevated levels of MIP-5 have been observed in rheumatoid arthritis where it contributes to joint inflammation. It is also associated with hepatocellular carcinoma where it may influence tumor microenvironment and metastasis. In these conditions MIP-5 might interact with other inflammatory molecules such as IL-6 and TNF-alpha suggesting its role as a mediator of chronic inflammation and malignancy processes.
