RANTES polyclonal antibody

RANTES (regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted) is expressed by platelets, eosinophils, fibroblasts, macrophages, endothelial cells and T lymphocytes. Consistent with its belonging to the chemokine family, RANTES exhibits strong chemoattractant activity towards monocytes and NK cells. I-309 was initially identified as a factor present in g/d T lymphocytes. I-309 cDNA encodes a protein 73 amino acids in length with one potential N-linked glycosylation site Unlike the other members of the C-C family, I-309 does not induce chemotaxis in natural killer (NK) cells.

C-C motif chemokine 5; EoCP; Eosinophil chemotactic cytokine; SIS-delta; Small-inducible cytokine A5; T cell-specific protein P228; TCP228; T-cell-specific protein RANTES; CCL5; D17S136E; SCYA5

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE) .
