| Description |
| The Mouse RANTES (CCL5) Single Analyte
ELISArray Kit is designed to quantitatively measure the amount of this
cytokine in cell culture supernatant, serum or plasma using a conventional
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Each 96-well plate (8
wells/strip, 12 strips) is coated with the protein-specific capture
antibody. We screened all commercially available antibodies to identify
the best capture and detection antibodies. The high sensitivity, good
linearity and low background of the Single Analyte ELISArray Kits provide
reliable and reproducible results for your cytokine and chemokine
analyses.

| More information on RANTES from
NCBI: |
| "Cytokines are a family of secreted proteins involved in
immunoregulatory and inflammatory processes. The CC cytokines are proteins
characterized by two adjacent cysteines. The cytokine encoded by this gene
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 CCR5 and it suppresses in vitro replication of
the R5 strains of HIV-1, which use CCR5 as a coreceptor" |

| Brief Protocol |
The Brief Protocol is meant for experience
users only. First-time users should refer to the User
Manual.
- Prepare replicate serial dilutions of the Antigen Standard and your
experimental samples.
- Pipette 50 µl of Assay Buffer into each well of the 8-well ELISA
strips.
- Transfer 50 µl samples and/or standards to the appropriate wells of
the ELISA strips.
- Gently shake or tap plate for 10 seconds. Incubate for 2 hours at room
temperature.
- Washing ELISA Wells:
Decant or aspirate well contents. Add 350 µl 1 × Washing Buffer.
Gently shake or tap plate for 10 seconds. Decant or aspirate. Blot array
upside down on absorbent paper to remove any residual buffer. Repeat
wash twice more.
- Pipette 100 µl of Detection Antibody solution. Incubate 1 hour at room
temperature.
- Wash ELISA wells as described above.
- Add 100 µl Avidin-HRP solution to all wells. Incubate for 30 minutes at
room temperature.
- Wash ELISA wells for a total of 4 washes.
- Add 100 µl of Development Solution to each well. Incubate the plate
for 15 minutes at room temperature in the dark.
- Add 100 µl of Stop Solution to each well. The color changes from
blue to yellow.
- Read absorbance at 450 nm within 30 minutes of stopping the reaction. If
wavelength correction is available, subtract readings at 570 nm from
the reading at 450 nm.
