Porcine C-C motif chemokine 5 (CCL5) ELISA Kit

This Sandwich ELISA kit from Assay Genie is designed for the quantitative detection of porcine C-C motif chemokine 5 (CCL5), also known by the synonyms SIS-delta, Small-inducible cytokine A5, T-cell-specific protein RANTES and SCYA5. The kit shows reactivity with pig samples and is intended for research use only, with the quantitative measurement of CCL5 in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids.

According to the manufacturer, the assay has a detection range of 39-2500pg/mL and a sensitivity of 19.5pg/mL. It detects natural and recombinant pig C-C motif chemokine 5, and the target protein corresponds to UniProt entry Q29288, with a molecular weight of 5,937 Da. The protein is secreted and is relevant to the Neurosciences research area. Its described function includes acting as a chemoattractant for blood monocytes, memory T-helper cells and eosinophils, causing the release of histamine from basophils and activating eosinophils. It may also activate several chemokine receptors, including CCR1, CCR3, CCR4 and CCR5, and may act as an agonist of the G protein-coupled receptor GPR75.
