Scientific Data Images for Mouse CXCL2/MIP-2 Antibody

Chemotaxis Induced by CXCL2/MIP-2 and Neutral-ization by Mouse CXCL2/ MIP-2 Antibody.

Chemotaxis Induced by CXCL2/MIP-2 and Neutral-ization by Mouse CXCL2/ MIP-2 Antibody.

Recombinant Mouse CXCL2/MIP-2 (452-M2) chemoattracts the BaF3 mouse pro-B cell line transfected with human CXCR2 in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). The amount of cells that migrated through to the lower chemotaxis chamber was measured by Resazurin (AR002). Chemotaxis elicited by Recombinant Mouse CXCL2/MIP-2 (2 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Mouse CXCL2/MIP-2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-452-NA). The ND50 is typically 0.015-0.075 µg/mL.
CXCL2/MIP-2 antibody in Mouse Splenocytes by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

CXCL2/MIP‑2 in Mouse Splenocytes.

CXCL2/MIP-2 was detected in immersion fixed mouse splenocytes stimulated with LPS and monensin using Goat Anti-Mouse CXCL2/MIP-2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-452-NA) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; NL001) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Detection of CXCL2/GRO beta/MIP-2/CINC-3 in Mouse Thymus

CXCL2/GRO beta/MIP-2/CINC-3 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of mouse thymus using Goat Anti-Mouse CXCL2/GRO beta/MIP-2/CINC-3 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-452-NA) at 15 µg/ml for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Goat IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC004). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm in lymphocytes.

Neutralization

Measured by its ability to neutralize CXCL2/MIP-2-induced chemotaxis in the BaF3 mouse pro‑B cell line transfected with human CXCR2. The Neutralization Dose (ND50) is typically 0.015-0.075 µg/mL in the presence of 2 ng/mL Recombinant Mouse CXCL2/MIP-2.
Please Note: Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Background: CXCL2/GRO beta/MIP-2/CINC-3

Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-2 (MIP-2) was originally identified as a heparin-binding protein secreted from a murine macrophage cell line in response to endotoxin stimulation. Based on its protein and DNA sequences, MIP-2 is a member of the alpha (C-X-C) subfamily of chemokines.

MIP-2 cDNA encodes a 100 amino acid residue precursor protein from which the amino-terminal 27 amino acid residues are cleaved to generate the mature MIP-2. The protein sequence of murine MIP-2 shows approximately 63% identity to that of murine KC, another murine alpha chemokine whose expression is induced by PDGF. In addition, the protein sequence of MIP-2 is also 60% identical to human GRO beta and GRO gamma. It has been suggested that mouse KC and MIP-2 are the homologs of the human GROs and rat CINCs.

Similarly to other alpha chemokines, murine MIP-2 is a potent neutrophil attractant and activator. MIP-2 and KC can bind the murine interleukin 8 type B receptor homologue with high affinity. The expression of MIP-2 was found to be associated with neutrophil influx in pulmonary inflammation and glomerulonephritis, suggesting that MIP-2 may contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases.
