Abstrakt: Human monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1, CCL2) is a 8.6-kDa protein that has been implicated in a number of diseases including atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and cancer. As part of a program to identify antibodies against MCP-1, we synthesized site-specific, biotinylated human MCP-1 analogs to be used for panning of an antibody phage display library. In contrast to material obtained from random biotinylation, the site-specific biotinylated analogs were homogeneous and retained full activity.
