Macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) is also known as C-C motif chemokine ligand 22 (CCL22). It is a CC chemokine that is produced in B cells, macrophages, monocyte-derived dendritic cells, activated natural killer (NK) cells and cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) T cells. The gene encoding it is localized on human chromosome 16. Recombinant human MDC is an 8.0kDa protein containing 67 amino acid residues including the four highly conserved cysteine residues present in the CC chemokines.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC) signals through the C-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CCR4). It chemo-attracts monocytes, dendritic cells and natural killer (NK) cells and aids in their function. The protein exerts human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) suppressive activity. The 67 amino acid form of MDC displays reduced chemoattractant activity but retains HIV suppressive activity. It is expressed in various cancers and is involved in recruitment of regulatory T cells (Treg) within a tumor.
Physical form
Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.

Objective: To study the role of miR-34c-5p targeting CCL22 in affecting the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: The dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was applied to verify the targeting relationship of miR-34c-5p and CCL22. The rats were randomly

CCL22, mainly synthesized by monocyte-derived alternative (M2) macrophages, belongs to the CC family of chemokines and is involved in monocyte migration and recruitment. We have previously investigated CCL22 and histamine in atherosclerosis. Here, we investigated the hypothesis that CCL22 is
Immune dysfunction often occurs in malignant pleural effusion (MPE). In our previous study, TGF-β derived predominantly from macrophages plays an important role in impairing T cell cytotoxicity in MPE. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether other immunoregulatory cells and factors
Suppression of intratumoral CCL22 by type i interferon inhibits migration of regulatory T cells and blocks cancer progression.

Intravenous delivery of oncolytic viruses often leads to tumor vascular shutdown, resulting in decreased tumor perfusion and elevated tumor hypoxia. We hypothesized that using 3TSR to normalize tumor vasculature prior to administration of an oncolytic Newcastle disease virus (NDV) would
