Background on Rantes
Rantes is a protein also known as CCL5 and is encoded by the CCL5 gene. Rantes is classified as a chemotactic cytokine, and is chemotactic for T cells, eosinophils, basophils, and recruits leukocytes in response to inflammation. Rantes induces proliferation and activation of natural killer cells to form CHAK cells. It is also an HIV-supressive factor.
Methods Overview: Sandwich ELISA
This rat Rantes ELISA Kit is based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from mouse specific for Rantes is precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for Rantes is added subsequently and then followed by washes with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB is used to visualize the HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the Rantes concentration captured on the plate.
