MIP1 Beta Antibody recognizes macrophage inflammatory protein 1 beta (MIP1 beta), also known as C-C motif chemokine ligand 4 (CCL4). This small secreted signaling protein belongs to the CC chemokine family and participates in inflammatory responses, immune cell recruitment, and communication between leukocytes. CCL4 is produced by activated macrophages, T lymphocytes, natural killer cells, and other immune populations in response to inflammatory stimuli. Its principal function is to attract and regulate immune cells at sites of infection, tissue injury, and inflammation. The CCL4 Polyclonal Antibody targets a chemokine involved in coordinating innate and adaptive immune responses.
The human CCL4 gene is located on chromosome 17q12 and encodes a precursor protein of approximately 92 amino acids. Following removal of its signal peptide, the mature secreted chemokine contains approximately 69 amino acids and has a molecular weight near 8 kDa. CCL4 contains conserved cysteine residues characteristic of the CC chemokine family, which contribute to its three-dimensional structure. The protein is closely related to CCL3, also known as MIP1 alpha, and both chemokines participate in inflammatory cell recruitment. Despite their structural similarities, differences in receptor interactions and expression patterns contribute to their distinct biological activities.
CCL4 signals primarily through the G protein-coupled receptor CCR5, promoting chemotaxis and cellular responses associated with inflammation. CCR5 is expressed by several leukocyte populations, including subsets of T cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Binding of CCL4 to CCR5 activates intracellular signaling pathways that influence cell migration, cytoskeletal organization, and immune cell positioning. CCL4 is also one of the endogenous chemokines capable of competing with HIV-1 for CCR5 binding, making it relevant to investigations of viral entry and host immune defense.
CCL4 expression is regulated by inflammatory signaling pathways and can increase following immune cell activation. Elevated CCL4 production has been associated with chronic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, infectious diseases, and tumor-associated immune responses. Within the tumor microenvironment, CCL4 can influence the recruitment and distribution of immune cells, although its biological effects depend on the cellular context and local signaling environment. The CCL4 Polyclonal Antibody is relevant to research examining chemokine expression, inflammatory signaling, and leukocyte trafficking.
Research involving CCL4 contributes to understanding macrophage activation, immune cell migration, cytokine networks, and inflammatory disease mechanisms. Its interactions with CCR5 also make it an important subject in studies of antiviral immunity and immune regulation. NSJ Bioreagents offers antibodies targeting chemokines and other mediators of immune signaling. A MIP1 Beta Antibody provides a research tool for examining CCL4 expression and its role in inflammatory responses, leukocyte recruitment, and immune cell communication.
Researchers seeking broader information on CCL4 biology, chemokine signaling and immune cell recruitment are encouraged to explore our CCL4 Antibody / Macrophage Inflammatory Protein 1 Beta Antibody page.
Optimal dilution of the MIP1 Beta Antibody / CCL4 Polyclonal Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Amino acids 24-92 of human CCL4 were used as the immunogen for the MIP1 Beta Antibody.
After reconstitution, the MIP1 Beta Antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
