Other Performance Data: Endotoxin Level: Measured by kinetic LAL analysis and is typically ≤ 1 EU/μg protein. Biologic Activity: The activity is determined by the ability to chemoattract human monocytes, neutrophils, THP-1 or primary T cells at 1-8 ng/mL.
Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: RANTES (CCL5) purity was determined to be greater than 98% as determined by HpLC, analysis by UV-Spectroscopy at 280nm, and by reducing and non-reducing SDS-pAGE.
Background: Regulated Upon Activation Normal T cell Express Sequence (RANTES), also called CCL5, is a chemokine produced by T cells three to five days after activation. RANTES is a promiscuous chemokine that signals through several G protein-coupled receptors, CCR5, CCR3, CCR1 and US28 (a viral receptor encoded by human CMV). The main function of RANTES is to recruit immune cells to the site of inflammation. Recombinant human RANTES is a non-glycosylated protein, containing 68 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 7.8 kDa.
Low Endotoxin: Yes
