Product details:
Human CCL23 ELISA Kit (ab216169) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of CCL23 protein in cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, edta plasma, hep plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human CCL23 with 1.54 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
CCL23 (Macrophage inflammatory protein 3) is a chemokine involved in the recruitment of monocytes, neutrophils and resting T cells. CCL23 functions by inhibition myeloid progenitor cell proliferation. CCL23 is found at high levels in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

CCL23 also known as macrophage inflammatory protein 3 is a chemokine involved in immune response regulation. It has a molecular weight of approximately 15-16 kDa and is secreted by various cells such as macrophages dendritic cells and endothelial cells. CCL23 is expressed mostly in the bone marrow and lymph nodes but it also localizes in tissues like the liver and lungs under certain conditions. It plays an important role in mediating chemotaxis directing the migration of cells toward infection sites.
Biological function summary
CCL23 functions in the recruitment of immune cells especially eosinophils and monocytes to areas where immune responses are necessary. This chemokine is not known to be part of a larger protein complex but its ability to interact with specific receptors on cell surfaces makes it integral to immune signaling. During immune activation CCL23 contributes to the inflammatory cascade influencing both acute and chronic inflammatory responses.
Pathways
The signaling functions of CCL23 integrate within the chemokine signaling pathway and the broader immune response pathway. CCL23 interacts closely with proteins such as CCR1 which acts as its receptor and influences cellular responses via this receptor-mediated signaling. Additionally CCL23 shares mechanistic parallels with other chemokines like CCL22 though they may attract different subsets of cells they participate in coordinated immune activities.
CCL23 has relevance to conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and allergic reactions. In these diseases elevated levels of CCL23 and its interaction with other proteins such as CCR1 contribute to the recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells. This chemokine's role in immune cell trafficking and inflammation makes it a target for therapeutic interventions aimed at modulating immune responses in such disorders.
