GCP-2 ELISA Kit

Storage Instruction:Store the kit at 4°C.
Description:
Granulocyte chemotactic protein-2 (GCP-2/CXCL6) is an ELR+ CXC chemokine both chemotactic and activating for neutrophils. Monocytes, eosinophils, and lymphocytes are all unresponsive to GCP-2. In primary stucture, regulation of expression, activity, and receptor usage, GCP-2 exhibits extensive similarity to other CXC chemokines IL-8, GRO-α and ENA-78. Maximal chemotactic response to GCP-2 is comparable to that exhibited by IL-8, although less IL-8 is required for induction. Mouse GCP-2/LIX and human IL-8 are equally active on human neutrophils. The Quantikine human GCP-2 Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid-phase ELISA designed to measure natural or recombinant human GCP-2 in heparin plasma, EDTA plasma, serum and cell culture supernatants. Sample values from cell culture and presumably healthy adults obtained at R&D Systems are presented.
