Storage: -70°CShipping: Blue Ice

Recombinant Rat Rantes produced in E. coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 68 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 7876 Dalton.

Biological Activity: Recombinant Rantes is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The activity is determined by the ability to chemoattract total human lymphocytes and murine T-cells at a concentration between 1-10ng/ml.
