In many species, both C-C chemokines macrophage inflammatory protein, or MIP-1 alpha (CCL3L1), and MIP-1 beta (CCL4) are structurally and functionally related CC chemokines. They are both potent chemoattractants for monocytes, which form an important component of the stroma of tumor tissue, and in humans may regulate tumor growth and associated inflammation. They participate in the host response to invading bacterial, viral, parasite and fungal pathogens by regulating the trafficking and activation state of selected subgroups of inflammatory cells e.g. macrophages, lymphocytes and NK cells. Both MIP-1 alpha and MIP-1 beta exert similar effects on monocytes, but their effect on lymphocytes differ. MIP-1 alpha selectively attracts CD8+ lymphocytes, while MIP-1 beta selectively attracts CD4+ lymphocytes. They contain the four highly conserved cysteine residues present in CC chemokines. MIP-1 beta (CCL4) has specificity for CCR5 receptors. In humans, it is also a major HIV-suppressive factor produced by CD8+ T cells.

Store vial at -20° C or below prior to opening. This vial contains a relatively low volume of reagent (25 µL). To minimize loss of volume dilute 1:10 by adding 225 µL of the buffer stated above directly to the vial. Recap, mix thoroughly and briefly centrifuge to collect the volume at the bottom of the vial. Use this intermediate dilution when calculating final dilutions as recommended below. Store the vial at -20°C or below after dilution. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing.
