• Species Reactivity

  Human

• Specificity

  Detects human CCR5. Specifically stains human CCR5 transfectants but not the parental cell lines. It does not cross-react with human CCR1, CCR2, or CCR3. Can be used to detect CCR5 present on stimulated human PBMCs. 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.
