CCL5/RANTES Antibody [FITC] Summary

• Description: This conjugate is made on demand and is not held in inventory. Each order represents a unique lot. All conjugates are generated using validated conjugation protocols and meet strict degree of labeling (F/P) specifications; additional information is available upon request. The antibody concentration is provided on the individual product label.
  
  For specialized conjugation needs, like large quantities, specific concentrations, and defined F/P ratios, bulk and custom antibody conjugation services are available.
• Immunogen: E. coli-derived recombinant human CCL5/RANTES
  Ser24-Ser91
  Accession # P13501
• Specificity: Detects human CCL5/RANTES in direct ELISAs. Detects human CCL5/RANTES and mouse CCL5/RANTES Western blots. In direct ELISAs, approximately 40% cross-reactivity with recombinant canine CCL5/RANTES is observed and approximately 20% cross-reactivity with recombinant cotton rat CCL5/RANTES is observed. In Western blots, no cross-reactivity with recombinant human (rh) CCL3 and rhCCL4 is observed.

Background

RANTES (Regulated-on-activation-normal-T-cell-expressed-and-secreted) is a member of the "intercrine/chemokine" family of cytokines, has been previously shown to be chemotactic for monocytes and T cells of memory/helper phenotype. RANTES has been shown to cause the release of histamine from basophils and activates eosinophils. It also binds to CCR1, CCR3, CCR4 and CCR5 (1). This CC-chemokine enhances antigen-specific T helper (Th) type-1 responses against HIV-1 (2). CC chemokines are small inducible proteins that are related to interleukin 8. In lung adenocarcinoma, RANTES is a predictor of survival while that of interleukin (IL)-8 is associated with a poor prognosis. In several models, tumorigenesis is abolished by RANTES, while it is facilitated by IL-8. Site-directed mutagenesis indicated that regulation of RANTES promoter activity required two nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB response elements but not its activator protein (AP)-1 binding sites (3).
