Description: The VL1 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CCL5/RANTES (Regulated upon Activation, Normal T cell Expressed and Secreted). RANTES is an 8 kDa member of the C-C chemokine family. Although rapidly induced in fibroblasts and epithelial cells, RANTES is upregulated only after 3-5 days of activation in T cells. As with other members of the C-C chemokine family, RANTES is a strong chemotractant for monocytes, NK cells, eosinophils and T cells. RANTES is also expressed by monocytes upon activation and has recently been reported to be constitutively expressed by NK cells.
Applications Reported: This VL1 antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis.
Applications Tested: This VL1 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by intracellular staining and flow cytometric analysis of stimulated normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 µL (0.25 µg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (µg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test.

CCL5 (RANTES) is a chemokine gene located on the q-arm of chromosome 17. Chemokines are a superfamily of secreted proteins involved in immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The superfamily is divided into four subfamilies based on the arrangement of the N-terminal cysteine residues of the mature peptide. CCL5, a member of the CC subfamily, functions as a chemoattractant for blood monocytes, memory T helper cells, and eosinophils. It causes the release of histamine from basophils and activates eosinophils. This cytokine is one of the major HIV-suppressive factors produced by CD8+ cells. It functions as one of the natural ligands for the chemokine receptor chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 (CCR5), and it suppresses in vitro replication of the R5 strains of HIV-1, which use CCR5 as a coreceptor. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different isoforms. Diseases associated with CCL5 include Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 and Periapical Granuloma.
