Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha) Rat

Rattus norvegicus

The Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1 alpha (MIP-1 alpha) is a α- or alpha protein sometimes glycoprotein present in blood.

Rats are used to make rat monoclonal anti mouse antibodies. There are less rat- than mouse clones however. Rats genes from rodents of the genus Rattus norvegicus are often studied in vivo as a model of human genes in Sprague-Dawley or Wistar rats.
