Background
This antimicrobial gene is one of several Cys-Cys (CC) cytokine genes clustered on the q arm of chromosome 16. Cytokines are a family of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The CC cytokines are proteins characterized by two adjacent cysteines. The cytokine encoded by this gene displays chemotactic activity for T lymphocytes, but not monocytes or granulocytes. The product of this gene binds to chemokine receptors CCR4 and CCR8. This chemokine plays important roles in T cell development in thymus as well as in trafficking and activation of mature T cells.

If I'm studying macrophage polarization, how does the ELISA + qPCR combination help strengthen my conclusions?

Combining ELISA and qPCR allows you to capture two complementary biological layers: secreted CCL17 protein levels in the supernatant and transcriptional regulation in the cells. This is particularly useful when treatments alter secretion dynamics differently than gene expression. With paired measurements from matched samples, you can present a clearer mechanism and reduce reviewer concerns about relying on only one readout. We can also advise on sampling timing to avoid missing transient expression peaks.

Can I use the kit to compare multiple donors or batches, and what controls should I include to avoid misleading batch effects?

Yes, it can be used across donors and batches, but you should plan controls carefully. We recommend including a pooled reference sample that appears on every plate, using consistent dilution rules, and pre-defining replicate structure. For qPCR, stable housekeeping genes and consistent RNA quality metrics are essential. If you share your study design (donor count, time points, treatments), we can propose a practical control framework to keep comparisons defensible.

What's the best way to handle low-abundance CCL17 when I'm unsure whether my samples are near the detection limit?

Start with a pilot run using a broad dilution series and include negative/blank controls and a mid-range positive control. If signals cluster near background, we can suggest concentrating supernatants (when appropriate) or adjusting sample preparation to preserve analyte integrity. For qPCR, increasing RNA input within recommended ranges and optimizing reverse transcription can help detect subtle induction. Our technical team can review your expected biology and recommend a realistic sensitivity strategy.

  • Strong paired readout concept for macrophage polarization experiments
    We liked the "two-layer" measurement approach-protein secretion plus gene expression-because it helped us interpret a treatment that increased transcription but only modestly changed secretion. Having both signals prevented us from drawing the wrong conclusion. The workflow integrated well into our routine schedule, and the final dataset felt more publication-ready than running ELISA alone. Support was responsive when we asked about time points and dilution planning.
  • Good reproducibility once we standardized plate controls and timing
    After one pilot plate to lock down dilution and incubation timing, the ELISA results were consistent across several weeks of experiments. Adding a pooled control sample to each plate helped confirm stability, and the qPCR pairing made it easier to explain outliers. The kit documentation was sufficient for experienced staff, and the overall value improved because we could generate both readouts without building everything from scratch.
  • Useful for screening conditions and then validating mechanism with qPCR
    We used the ELISA component to screen a panel of inhibitors and then used qPCR to validate whether changes in CCL17 were transcriptional or post-transcriptional. That approach saved us time and reduced follow-up experiments. The kit fit into a structured workflow and produced readable trends. Once we refined our dilution strategy, background was manageable and the data aligned with other macrophage activation markers.
