Rat CCL4 ELISA Kit. Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 4, also known as CCL4, is a protein which in mouse is encoded by the CCL4 gene. It is a CC chemokine with specificity for CCR5 receptors. It is a chemoattractant for natural killer cells, monocytes and a variety of other immune cells. CCL4 is a major HIV-suppressive factor produced by CD8+ T cells. Performing-low memory CD8+ T cells that normally synthesize MIP-1-beta. By analysis of somatic cell hybrids and by in situ hybridization, the CCL4 gene was assigned to 17q21-q23. Based on functional analysis of MIP-1, one or more additional chemokine receptors that transduce MIP-1 signals must also exist. MIP-1 and MIP-1 have been shown to lack affinity for the erythrocyte surface chemokine receptor/Duffy antigen that binds many as well as chemokines (11, 14).
