Revvity HTRF Human CCL5 (RANTES) Detection Kit, 10,000 Assay Points

CCL5, also known as RANTES (regulated upon activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted), is a chemokine mainly secreted by T lymphocytes, macrophages, platelets, and certain types of tumor cells. RANTES plays an important role in inflammatory sites by recruiting T cells and macrophages. When secreted with IL-2 and IFN-γ, RANTES also induces activation and proliferation of natural killer (NK) cells. function of RANTES in oncology is still unclear, but in infectious diseases RANTES has been described as inhibiting HIV entry into target cells.

Assessment of serum samples often requires enhanced sensitivity. In some cases, AlphaLISA assays may have sufficient sensitivity to enable detection of low levels of analytes in serum or plasma.
