Notes
The Antibody Pair can be used to quantify Human CXCL2. BSA and Azide free antibody pairs include unconjugated capture and detector antibodies suitable for sandwich ELISAs. The antibodies are provided at an approximate concentration of 1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method. The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Both capture and detector antibodies are rabbit monoclonal antibodies delivering consistent, specific, and sensitive results.
For additional information on the performance of the antibody pair, see the equivalent SimpleStep ELISA® Kit (Human MIP2 ELISA Kit (CXCL2) ab184862), which uses the same antibodies. However, due to differences in their formulation, this antibody pair cannot be used with the consumables provided with our SimpleStep ELISA Kits. Please note that the range provided for the pairs is only an estimation based on the performance of the related product using the same antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody pair in your assay.
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:
- Sandwich ELISA
- FRET/TR-FRET/HTRF
- Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD®)
- Bead-based assays
- AlphaLISA®/AlphaScreen®
- DELFIA® immunoassays
- Simoa® and Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) immunoassays
- Multiplex
Our antibody pairs are supplied in a carrier-free format that is conjugation-ready:
- Buffer free of BSA, sodium azide, and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
- Concentration of ~1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method.
We can label antibodies for you: get in touch today to discuss how we can help accelerate your assay development with custom conjugation services.
Pairs are screened in biological samples, including plasma and serum, to ensure specificity in complex samples.
Please note:
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization in sandwich ELISA. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.
The range provided for this antibody pair is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data using recombinant protein. Performance and range of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay, including standard protein selection.
We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibodies in other assays.

- Activity summary
The CXCL2 protein also known as macrophage inflammatory protein 2 (MIP-2) or KC in the mouse model functions as a chemokine. It weighs approximately 7.8 kDa and is part of the CXC chemokine family. CXCL2 is mainly expressed in macrophages neutrophils and certain epithelial cells. It plays an important role in mediating the migration of these cells to sites of inflammation or injury.
- Biological function summary
CXCL2 attracts and activates neutrophils as part of the innate immune response. It acts independently not as part of a larger complex to provoke a chemotactic response guiding neutrophils to areas of tissue injury. CXCL2 also promotes the release of other cytokines and enzymes that contribute to inflammation. Its activity is mediated through its interaction with receptors like CXCR2 on target cell surfaces.
- Pathways
CXCL2 is involved in inflammatory signaling and leukocyte migration. It holds importance in the chemokine signaling pathway which regulates leukocyte trafficking. CXCL2 interacts with proteins like CXCR2 influencing the inflammation process by activating downstream kinases and other signal transduction molecules such as mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs).
- Associated diseases and disorders
CXCL2 is connected to inflammatory conditions and diseases like sepsis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Elevated levels of CXCL2 can enhance the inflammatory response which is linked to the progression of these conditions. The protein is also associated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) which amplifies inflammation and tissue damage during disease processes.
