Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-2 (MCP-2) belongs to a family of C-C chemotactic cytokines. MCP-1, -3, -4, and -5 are the other five monocyte chemo attractants identified. The MCP cytokines are involved in recruitment of leukocytes to the sites of inflammation, and activate NK cells and CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes. Additionally, MCP cytokines can activate basophils to secrete histamines and also attract eosinophils. MCPs play an important role in pathological conditions such as systemic sclerosis, myocardia and cardiac ischemia. Anti-monocyte chemotactic protein 2 antibody specifically reacts with human MCP-2. The antibody shows <20% cross reactivity with recombinant human MCP-1 and recombinant mouse MIP-1α.

Structural analysis of chemokines has revealed that the alpha/beta structural-fold is highly conserved among both the CXC and CC chemokine classes. Although dimerization and aggregation is often observed, the chemokines function as monomers. The critical receptor binding regions are in

Many of the major diseases, including cardiovascular disease, are widely recognized as inflammatory diseases. MCP-1 (monocyte chemotactic protein-1) plays a critical role in the development of cardiovascular diseases. MCP-1, by its chemotactic activity, causes diapedesis of monocytes from the lumen
Activation of the immune system and increased synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins by fibroblasts are hallmarks in the pathogenesis of SSc. The molecular mechanisms underlying the infiltration of inflammatory cells into the skin and the subsequent activation of fibroblasts are

It has been shown that CC chemokines activate basophil and eosinophil leukocytes with different selectivities and patterns of activity. The most effective are monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), a potent stimulus of mediator release in basophils without effects on eosinophils, RANTES
