What is Mouse Chemokine?
Mouse chemokine refers to a group of small signaling proteins that play a crucial role in the immune response by directing the movement of circulating leukocytes to sites of inflammation, infection, or trauma in mice. These proteins are a subset of cytokines and are characterized by their ability to induce chemotaxis in nearby responsive cells. Chemokines are classified into four main subfamilies based on the positioning of their conserved cysteine residues: CXC, CC, CX3C, and XC. Each subfamily exhibits distinct functional properties and roles in various physiological and pathological processes.
Chemokines are inextricably linked to the development and function of the immune system, influencing processes such as immune cell trafficking, lymphoid tissue organogenesis and host defense mechanisms. Analysis of these chemokines can provide insight into the molecular mechanisms of immune responses and help identify potential therapeutic targets for immune-related diseases.
Because of the physiological and genetic similarities between humans and mice, studies of mouse chemokines are often a precursor to understanding human chemokines. By studying these chemokines in mice, researchers can better understand their role in human health and disease, thereby facilitating the development of treatments for diseases such as autoimmune disorders, cancer and infectious diseases.
The study of mouse chemokines may help provide new insights into the function of the immune system as well as diagnostic and therapeutic aspects.

Can the Mouse Chemokine Panel detect chemokines from a wide range of tissues, such as brain or lung?
Yes, the Mouse Chemokine Panel is versatile and can be used to detect chemokines from a variety of tissue types, including blood, lung, liver, spleen, and brain. However, the effectiveness of chemokine detection depends on the abundance of the target analytes in those tissues. For example, chemokines that are predominantly expressed in the brain or lungs might be present in lower concentrations in blood or plasma, requiring more sensitive or optimized methods for detection. We recommend consulting with our technical team for guidance on tissue-specific applications and preparation protocols.
Are custom chemokine panels available for specific research needs?
Yes, Creative Proteomics offers customized Mouse Chemokine Panels tailored to your specific research goals. If you need to analyze additional chemokines not included in the standard 9-plex or 16-plex panels, we can create custom panels that are aligned with your experimental requirements. Our team of experts can assist in selecting the appropriate chemokines and configuring the assay to ensure the most relevant and comprehensive analysis for your study.
How does the Mouse Chemokine Panel compare to other protein detection methods like ELISA or Western blot?
The Mouse Chemokine Panel using Luminex xMAP technology offers several advantages over traditional methods like ELISA or Western blot. First, Luminex allows for the simultaneous detection of multiple chemokines in a single sample, significantly increasing throughput and efficiency. This is particularly valuable when studying complex immune responses or inflammatory pathways that involve multiple biomarkers. Additionally, Luminex assays generally provide higher sensitivity and a broader dynamic range compared to ELISA. While Western blot can provide detailed information on protein expression, it is time-consuming and limited to one analyte at a time. The Mouse Chemokine Panel provides a high-throughput, cost-effective alternative for large-scale studies.
