Rantes Rat Recombinant ( CCL5 ) ( Rantes Rat )

Data sheet

Formulation

Lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution in water containing no additives.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Rantes in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Purity

Greater than 95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Description

Rantes Rat Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 68 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 7876 Dalton. The Rat Rantes is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Protein Background

Regulated upon Activation, Normal T-cell Expressed, and Secreted or RANTES is an 8 kDa protein classified as a chemotactic cytokine or chemokine. It has recently been renamed CCL5. RANTES is chemotactic for T cells, eosinophils and basophils and plays an

Expression host

Escherichia Coli.

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Stability

Lyophilized Rat Rantes although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Rat CCL5 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended t
