Revvity HTRF Human CCL20 (MIP3α) Detection Kit, 500 Assay Points

Also called LARC (liver activation regulated chemokine) or MIP3A (macrophage inflammatory protein 3), CCL20 is a chemokine mainly present in peripheral blood lymphocytes, lymph nodes, and the liver. CCL20 secretion is upregulated by microbial factors and inflammatory cytokines like TNFa or IFNg. Its main role is to attract lymphocytes and dendritic cells to the site of infection. In the CNS, CCL20 released by endothelial cells has been shown to attract TH17 cells and promote their infiltration to the lumbar spinal cord.
