Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity ofrRANTES (100 ng/mL), a concentration of 3.0-5.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required. ELISA: To detect rRANTES by direct ELISA (using 100l/well antibody solution) aconcentration of at least 0.5g/mL of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purifiedantibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant rRANTES. Western Blot: To detect rRANTES by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at aconcentration of 0.1-0.2 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagentsthe detection limit for recombinant rRANTES is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing ornon-reducing conditions. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.
