RANTES Recombinant Protein

RANTES is a protein which has been shown to be a chemoattractant for peripheral blood monocytes. It appears to selectively attract T cells of the CD4+/CD45RO+ phenotype in vitro. Recombinant Rat RANTES is a 7.9 kDa protein containing 68 amino acid residues.

The lyophilized RANTES recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20˚ C. Reconstituted RANTES is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20˚ C. As with any protein, exposing RANTES recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.
