RANTES (CCL5) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: 5B3-D5]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	5B3-D5
Applications	ELISA, FN, IF, IHC, IP, WB
Recommend Dilution	Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of Human RANTES (100 ng/ml), a concentration of 3.0-5.0 µg/ml of this antibody is required. Sandwich ELISA: In a Sandwich ELISA (assuming 100 µl/well), a concentration of 2.0-4.0 µg/ml of this antibody will detect at least 500 pg/ml of recombinant Human RANTES when used with Biotinylated antigen affinity purified anti-Human RANTES (PP1064B1 or PP1064B2) as the detection antibody at a concentration of approximately 0.5-1.0 µg/ml. Western Blot: To detect Human RANTES by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.5-1.0 µg/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant Human RANTES is 0.25-2.0 ng/lane, under reducing conditions and 0.25-0.50 ng/lane, under non-reducing conditions. Immunohistochemistry on Frozen Sections. Immunohistochemistry on Paraffin Sections: 10 µg/ml with an overnight incubation at 4˚C. An HRP-labeled polymer detection system was used with a DAB chromogen. Heat induced antigen retrieval with a pH 6.0 citrate buffer is recommended. Optimal concentrations and conditions may vary. Protocol and staining provided by Dr. Lauren Binge, Laboratory of Prof. Charles Mackay, Monash Univeristy, Australia. Immunofluorescence: This antibody (Lot #057E172) stained PBMC. The primary antibody was incubated at 10.0 mg/ml for one hour at room temperature followed by a fluorescent labeled secondary antibody. Protocol and staining provided by Dr. Lauren Binge, Laboratory of Prof. Charles Mackay, Monash Univeristy, Australia.

Background	RANTES (Regulated-on-activation-normal-T-cell-expressed-and-secreted) is a member of the "intercrine/chemokine" family of cytokines, has been previously shown to be chemotactic for monocytes and T cells of memory/helper phenotype. RANTES has been shown to cause the release of histamine from basophils and activates eosinophils. It also binds to CCR1, CCR3, CCR4 and CCR5. This CC-chemokine enhances antigen-specific T helper (Th) type-1 responses against HIV-1. CC chemokines are small inducible proteins that are related to interleukin 8. In lung adenocarcinoma, RANTES is a predictor of survival while that of interleukin (IL)-8 is associated with a poor prognosis. In several models, tumorigenesis is abolished by RANTES, while it is facilitated by IL-8. Site-directed mutagenesis indicated that regulation of RANTES promoter activity required two nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB response elements but not its activator protein (AP)-1 binding sites.
Synonyms	C-C motif chemokine 5, D17S136E, SCYA5, Small-inducible cytokine A5, SIS-delta, EoCP
