Introduction

Chemokines and their receptors play a pivotal role in lymphocyte trafficking, recruiting and recirculation. They act through seven transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors. The chemokine system is increasingly recognized to play an important role in lymphocyte biology. Chemokine receptors are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with seven transmembrane (TM7) spanning a-helices belonging to the rhodopsin superfamily. They have an N-terminus outside the cell, three extracellular domains, three intracellular loops and a C-terminus in the cytoplasm wich contains serine and threonine phosphorylation sides. These receptors bind their corresponding ligands with high affinity. Unusualy for members of the TM7 receptor superfamily nearly all chemokine receptors have multiple high-affinity ligands for a single receptor. CCR5 for example binds CCL3 and CCL4 as well as CCL5. Binding of a chemokine to its specific receptor on the cell surface activates a G-protein coupled signal transduction cascade. Finally the activation of protein kinases results in chemotaxis towards the source of the chemokine. Based on their ligand specificity, chemokine receptors can be divided into two major groups, CXCR and CCR, based on the two major classes of chemokines. Thus far six CXC receptors, one CX3C and twelve CC receptors have been identified.

Antibody Tools for Detection of Chemokine Receptors

Since Acris Antibodies was founded in 1998 we have increased the numbers of antibodies to chemokines and their receptors every year. Today we can offer an abundant antibody panel to chemokine receptors for various applications like Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry and other immunological detection methods.
