Invitrogen™ CCL5 (RANTES) Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ PA184201

Catalog No. PIPA184201

Description

Reconstitute with 0.1 mL of distilled water. For long term storage the addition of 0.09% sodium azide is recommended. Prior to reconstitution, store at 4ºC. After reconstitution, store undiluted at -20ºC, avoiding freeze/thaw cycles. Rabbit anti Rat RANTES antibody recognizes rat RANTES, also known as CCL5, a chemoattractant for blood monocytes, memory T-helper cells and eosinophils.

CCL5 (RANTES) is a chemokine gene located on the q-arm of chromosome 17. Chemokines are a superfamily of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The superfamily is divided into four subfamilies based on the arrangement of the N-terminal cysteine residues of the mature peptide. CCL5, a member of the CC subfamily, functions as a chemoattractant for blood monocytes, memory T helper cells, and eosinophils. It causes the release of histamine from basophils and activates eosinophils. This cytokine is one of the major HIV-suppressive factors produced by CD8+ cells. It functions as one of the natural ligands for the chemokine receptor chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 (CCR5), and it suppresses in vitro replication of the R5 strains of HIV-1, which use CCR5 as a coreceptor. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different isoforms. Diseases associated with CCL5 include Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 and Periapical Granuloma.
