ELISA for measurement of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1/CCL2) in human serum. v1

MCP-1 is believed to play an important role in monocyte infiltration into tumor tissues. [1] MCP-1 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. There is considerable evidence that supports that monocytes containing MCPs and macrophages influence the growth of other cell types within the atherosclerotic lesion. [2] References 1.
