AAM67 recognises an epitope within the N-terminal (NT) region of mouse CD184, otherwise known as CXCR4 (C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4), a transmembrane glycoprotein and member of the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family, ubiquitously expressed in blood and tissue cells, which acts as a specific receptor for the chemokine SDF-1 (Stromal cell-derived factor 1).
Interaction of CD184 with SDF-1 mediates the chemotaxis of progenitor and mature blood cells, and is critical for B-lymphopoiesis and myelopoiesis. CD184 is a major co-receptor for infection by T-cell tropic strains of HIV1, and also a primary receptor for some HIV2 isolates.
AAM67 is reported as suitable for use in immunocytochemistry on mouse spleen leucocytes.

Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Storage
Store at -20oC only.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antiserum to mouse CD184 (NT) was raised by repeated immunisation of goats with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared by affinity chromatography.
