• Species Reactivity

  Human

• Specificity

  Specifically stains human CCR5 transfectants but not the parental cell line as detected by flow cytometry. It has also been shown to react with a CCR5/CCR2 chimera (5222) containing the amino-terminal domain of CCR5. However, this antibody does not react with CCR5 present on unfixed stimulated human PBMCs by flow cytometry. For additional information regarding epitope specificity for this antibody and other R&D Systems anti-human CCR5 antibodies, see Lee, B.     et al., 1999, J. Biol. Chem.     274:9617.

Background: CCR5

CCR5 is a G protein-linked seven transmembrane domain chemokine receptor. CCR5 serves as a receptor for several chemokines including MIP-1 alpha, MIP-1 beta, MCP-2, and RANTES. It also functions as a coreceptor for Macrophage Tropic HIV-1 infection.
