Anti-Mouse RANTES

Purified Recombinant Mouse RANTES (>98%)

This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody has been 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 – 7.3 containing 5.0% w/v trehalose with no calcium, magnesium, or preservatives present.

Lyophilized

The lyophilized antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for twelve months from date of receipt. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted antibody, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months.

IHC (NBF/Par.): This antibody should give satisfactory staining results when used at a concentration of 15 µg/ml. The recommended secondary antibody for IHC is PN:G505. For chromogenic detection with high signal and low background use PN:D100 or PN:K107.
Neutralization: This antibody is useful for neutralization of Mouse RANTES bioactivity. The antibody dose required to neutralize 50% (ND₅₀) of the biological activity of Mouse RANTES (at 0.05 ng/ml) is 0.07 - 0.3 µg/ml.

Goat Anti-Mouse Regulated upon Activation Normal T cell Express Sequence (RANTES) recognizes Mouse RANTES. This antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody was purified using a proprietary chromatographic technique that includes covalently immobilizing the antigen proteins or peptides to agarose based beads. This purification method enhances specificity, reduces nonspecific binding of extraneous IgG and provides you with the most reliable reagent available for your early discovery research.

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
