Recombinant Human RANTES (CCL5)
RANTES belongs to the family of chemotactic cytokines known as chemokines and is expressed by an early response gene. The synthesis of RANTES is induced by TNF-alpha and IL-1-alpha. RANTES is chemotactic for T cells, human eosinophils and basophils and plays an active role in recruiting leukocytes into inflammatory sites. RANTES also activates eosinophils to release eosinophilic cationic protein while being a potent activator of oxidative metabolism specific for eosinophils. RANTES increases the adherence of monocytes to endothelial cells and selectively supports the migration of monocytes and T lymphocytes expressing the cell surface markers CD4 and UCHL1.
