Our Mouse CCL17/TARC ELISA Kit is a sandwich ELISA intended for the quantitative determination of mouse CCL17 in cell culture supernates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA).
Chemokine(C-C motif) ligand 17(CCL17) is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family that is also known as thymus and activation regulated chemokine(TARC). CCL17 is expressed constitutively in thymus, but only transiently in phytohemagglutinin-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells. This chemokine specifically binds and induces chemotaxis in T cells and elicits its effects by interacting with the chemokine receptor CCR4. The gene for CCL17 is located on chromosome 16, in humans, along with other chemokines called CCL22 and CX3CL1.
