Recombinant Mouse RANTES

RANTES also known as Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 (CCL5), a CC-chemokine¹ is an important mediators of the immune and inflammatory response.² It is also a potent chemoattractant for T cells ³ and eosinophils.⁴ RANTES is involved in many inflammatory diseases, for example, bronchial asthma, delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions, viral infections, arthritis, chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, and idiopathic interstitial pneumonia.⁵

The biological activity of Mouse RANTES was determined by its ability to chemoattract 2 day cultured human monocytes or mouse BaF3 cells transfected with human CCR5. The expected ED₅₀ for these effects are typically 30 - 100 ng/ml and 7 - 35 ng/ml, respectively.

Lyophilized

The predicted molecular weight of Recombinant Mouse RANTES is Mr 7.9 kDa.

7.9

This recombinant protein was lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in 30% acetonitrile (CH₃CN) and 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) with trehalose.

This lyophilized protein is stable for six to twelve months when stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C. After aseptic reconstitution, this protein may be stored at 2°C to 8°C for one month or at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. See Product Insert for exact lot specific storage instructions.
