Mouse ccl2 elisa kit

Manufactured by R&D Systems
Sourced in United States

The Mouse CCL2 ELISA kit is a quantitative sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) designed to measure the levels of mouse CCL2 (also known as Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1, MCP-1) in cell culture supernatants, serum, and plasma samples. The kit utilizes a specific antibody coated on a microplate to capture CCL2 from the samples, and a detection antibody is then used to quantify the bound CCL2 using a colorimetric reaction.

Cytokine Profiling in Murine Retinal Tissue

Retinal tissue collected from mice were lysed in 100 µL of lysis buffer with protease inhibitor cocktail as previously described10 (link) and homogenized by a Mini Bead Beater (BiosSpec Products, Bartlesville, OK). After centrifuging at 12,000×g for 10 minutes, the supernatant was used to measure the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-1β, and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) in the retinal tissue. The conditional medium was also used to determine these cytokines’ secretions using mouse TNF-α ELISA kit (R&D, Minneapolis, MN), mouse IL-1β ELISA kit (R&D), mouse IL-6 ELISA kit (R&D), and mouse CCL2 ELISA kit (R&D), respectively, following the manufacturer's instructions. Serum creatine and blood urea nitrogen were measured using SCR ELISA kit (cat# YS04392B, YaJi Biological, China) and blood urea nitrogen ELISA kit (cat# C013-2, YaJi Biological, China) respectively.

ELISA Quantification of Mouse CCL2

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse CCL2 ELISA kit was purchased from R&D systems. For in vitro experiments, cultured cells were collected after treatment. For in vivo experiments, animals were transcardially perfused with PBS. The L5 spinal cord was dissected. Astrocytes and spinal cord tissues were homogenized in a lysis buffer containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Sigma, St Louis, MO). Protein concentrations were determined by BCA Protein Assay (Pierce, Rockford, IL). For each reaction in a 96-well plate, 100 µg of proteins were used, and ELISA was performed according to manufacturer’s protocol. The standard curve was included in each experiment.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
