Product Specifications
Size:
50 µg
Protein Information
Protein Name & Synonyms:
RANTES / CCL5
Target Species:
- Human
Antibody Specifications
Applications:
ELISA (dilution: 0.1, 0.2ug/ml), Western Blotting
Concentration (lot specific):
IgG concentration 0.1 mg/ml after reconstitution.
Preparation:
Antisera to human RANTES were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG prepared by affinity chromatography.
Reconstitution:
Reconstitute with 0.5 ml sterile PBS containing 0.1% Bovine Serum Albumin.Care should be taken during reconstitution as the protein may appear as a film at the bottom of the vial. RayBiotech recommend that the vial is gently mixed after reconstitution.. For long term storage the addition of 0.09% sodium azide is recommended.
Species Reactivity:
Human
This product may be used under either denaturing or non-denaturing conditions.
Specificity
This product is specific for human RANTES (regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted), otherwise known as CCL5, a 68 amino acid CC- chemokine involved in T cell activation and cell recruitment, expressed by cytotoxic (CD8+) T cells (CTLs), macrophages, keratinocytes and endothelial cells.
RANTES acts as a chemoattractant for monocytes, CD4+/CD45RO+ memory T cells, basophils and eosinophils, thorough binding to chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 1 (CCR1), CCR3 and CCR5. Both CCR3 and CCR5 are known co-receptors for the entry of HIV viruses into target cells and the binding of RANTES to CCR3 on CTLs has been shown to enhance HIV-1-specific cytotoxicity, whilst binding to CCR5 inhibits membrane fusion and hence HIV entry.

Storage/Stability
Prior to reconstitution store at +4 °C.
After reconstitution store at -20 °C.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
If stored in this manner, this product is stable for 12 months after receipt.
