For the development of sandwich ELISA kit to measure human XCL1/Lymphotactin in cell culture supernatants, cell lysates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA).
Chemokine(C motif) ligand(XCL1) is a small cytokine belonging to the XC chemokine family that is also known as lymphotactin. This gene is mapped to chromosome 1q23 by FISH. The sequence of the deduced 114-amino acid protein is most homologous to the CC chemokines CCL8 and CCL3. It is found in high levels in spleen, thymus, intestine and peripheral blood leukocytes, and at lower levels in lung, prostate gland and ovary. XCL1 induces the migration of cells expressing XCR1.
