Background | The Quantikine Human MIP-1 alpha Immunoassay is a 3.5 or 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure MIP-1 alpha levels in cell culture supernates, serum, and plasma. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant human MIP-1 alpha and antibodies raised against the recombinant protein. Results obtained for naturally occurring human MIP-1 alpha showed linear curves that were parallel t...o the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values of natural human MIP-1 alpha. Show More |

MIP-1 alpha (macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha) is a member of the CC or beta chemokine subfamily that was originally purified from the conditioned media of an LPS-stimulated murine macrophage cell line. MIP-1 alpha acts as a chemoattractant to a variety of cells including monocytes, T cells, B cells and eosinophils.
The two human MIP-1 alpha genes arise by duplication/mutation. They code for MIP-1 alpha isoforms CCL3/LD78a and CCL3L1/LD78b, which share 94% amino acid sequence homology. Whereas the human CCL3/LD78a is a single-copy gene, the human CCL3L1/LD78b gene copy number varies within the population. Human CCL3L1/LD78b binds and signals through chemokine receptors CCR1, CCR5. When compared to CCL3/LD78a, CCL3L1/LD78b has higher binding affinity to CCR5, which also functions as a coreceptor for HIV-1 entry. The copy number of CCL3L1 is one of several genetic determinants of HIV-1 susceptibility.
