Application

Anti-C-X-X-X-C Chemokine Receptor 1 Antibody, extracellular loop is an antibody against C-X-X-X-C Chemokine Receptor 1 for use in IH & WB.

Western blot: 1:500 (THP cell lysate can be used as positive control and an approximately 50 kDa band can be detected)

Immunohistochemistry in frozen sections

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

General description

CX3CR1 is one of the chemokine receptors that are required as coreceptors for HIV infection. The genes encoding human, mouse, and rat CX3CR1 were cloned and designated V28 and CMKBRL1, CX3CR1, and RBS11, respectively (1-4). The seven transmembrane protein was recently identified as the receptor for a novel transmembrane molecule, fractalkine, and renamed CX3CR1 (5). Recently, CX3CR1 was found to serve as a coreceptor for HIV-1 and HIV-2 envelope fusion and virus infection, which can be inhibited by facktokine (6). CX3CR1 mediates leukocyte migration and adhesion.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide from the extracellular loop of human CX3CR1.
