Product details:
Human CCL16 ELISA Kit (ab243673) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of CCL16 protein in cell culture supernatant, cit plasma, and serum. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human CCL16 with 1 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.

LEC also known as CCL16 is a chemokine protein that functions in the immune system. This protein weighs approximately 22 kDa and resides mainly in the liver and peripheral blood leukocytes. LEC belongs to the CC chemokine family characterized by two adjacent cysteine residues. The protein connects with other cellular systems to modulate immune responses. Antibodies like anti-LEC can detect it effectively and commercial products such as LEC BSA and LEC custom products aid in its study.
Biological function summary
LEC performs vital roles in immune cell signaling and chemotaxis. It binds specifically to certain chemokine receptors on target cells initiating signaling cascades that recruit lymphocytes to infected or inflamed tissues. LEC functions as part of a larger complex that includes other chemokines to coordinate immune responses. Its expression and activity influence various immune functions which makes its regulation significant for maintaining healthy immune system operation.
Pathways
LEC acts within immune signaling pathways and inflammation-related processes. It plays essential parts in pathways like the chemokine signaling pathway where it interacts with other proteins such as CCR1 and CCR2 chemokine receptors. Through these interactions LEC contributes to the recruitment and activation of specific immune cell subtypes facilitating a coordinated response to inflammation or infection.
LEC connects to conditions involving immune dysregulation like rheumatoid arthritis and liver diseases. In rheumatoid arthritis LEC levels can affect inflammation and tissue damage often in concert with proteins like TNF-alpha. In liver diseases altered LEC expression may relate to liver fibrosis with connections to proteins such as TGF-beta. Understanding LEC's role in these conditions can lead to better therapeutic strategies targeting the chemokine network.
