  • Function
    Chemoattractant for blood monocytes, memory T-helper cells and eosinophils. Causes the release of histamine from basophils and activates eosinophils. Binds to CCR1, CCR3, CCR4 and CCR5. One of the major HIV-suppressive factors produced by CD8+ T-cells. Recombinant RANTES protein induces a dose-dependent inhibition of different strains of HIV-1, HIV-2, and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). The processed form RANTES(3-68) acts as a natural chemotaxis inhibitor and is a more potent inhibitor of HIV-1-infection. The second processed form RANTES(4-68) exhibits reduced chemotactic and HIV-suppressive activity compared with RANTES(1-68) and RANTES(3-68) and is generated by an unidentified enzyme associated with monocytes and neutrophils.
  • Tissue specificity
    T-cell and macrophage specific.
  • Sequence similarities
    Belongs to the intercrine beta (chemokine CC) family.
  • Post-translational
    modifications
    N-terminal processed form RANTES(3-68) is produced by proteolytic cleavage, probably by DPP4, after secretion from peripheral blood leukocytes and cultured sarcoma cells.
    The identity of the O-linked saccharides at Ser-27 and Ser-28 are not reported in PubMed:1380064. They are assigned by similarity.
  • Cellular localization
    Secreted.
  • Information by UniProt

Question

Hi,

I am looking for a neutralizing antibody for CXCL7, and I came across this product:Anti-NAP2 antibody (ab9554). I was wondering if this is indeed tested to show that is neutralizes CXCL7 and how much to use to block CXCL7. In addition, I was wondering if abcam sells the function CXCL7 protein.

Also I am looking for a neutralizing antibody for Rantes and found Anti-Rantes antibody (ab9679).I was wondering if this is indeed tested to show that is neutralizes RANTES in solution and how much to use to block the protein. Also, if you could tell me if abcam sells the functional protein form of RANTES that would be great.

Kind Regards,

Answer

Thank you for your enquiry.

For ab9554, Rabbit Anti Human NAP-2, this has been tested in Neutralisation as follows:
Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of Human NAP-2 (100.0 ng/ml), a concentration of 5.0 - 10.0 ug/ml of this antibody was required. This may need some individual optimization.

The recombinant protein used in this assay is NAP-2 protein ab9556.

For ab9679, Rabbit Anti Human RANTES, this has been tested in Neutralisation as follows:
Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of Human RANTES (100 ng/ml), a concentration of 0.4 – 0.6 μg/ml of this antibodywas required. This may need some individual optimization.

The recombinant protein used in this assay, is Rantes protein ab9680.
