Rabbit anti Human CX3CR1(EL) (V28) (HIV and chemokine receptor)

Rabbit anti Human CX3CR1(EL) (V28) (HIV and chemokine receptor), Polyclonal, IgG

Background: 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 encoded 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 fractokine (6). CX3CR1 mediates leukocyte migration and adhesion (5). CX3CR1 is expressed in a variety of human tissues and cell lines (2).

Positive Control: THP-1 Cell Lysate.

Immunogen: Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 175 to 189 of human CX3CR1 receptor. This sequence is identical in rat and differs by one amino acid in mouse.

Purification Method: Antigen Immunoaffiinity Purification.

Formulation: Provided in phosphate buffered saline solution containing 0.02% sodium azide as a preservative.
