Antibody 5E8 recognizes an epitope in CCR3. CCR3 is a G protein-linked, 7 transmembrane, chemokine receptor expressed on a variety of hematopoietic cells. Similar to CCR5 and CXCR4, CCR3 can be a co-receptor for HIV-1. It is primarily found on eosinophils and basophils during atopic conditions, dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis and bronchial asthma. Chemokines like RANTES, Eotaxin, MCP-3, MIP1α have been reported to act as ligands for CCR3 and stimulate CCR3+ cells. Eotaxin stimulates Th2 cells expressing CCR3. Other studies describe HIV-1 specific T cell cytotoxicity can be mediated by RANTES and Eotaxin through CCR3. CCR3 expressed on dendritic cells may have a biological role on cell-cell interaction during antigen presentation. CCR3 has been clustered as CD193 in the HLDA VIIIth workshop.

注意事项:
1.Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2.Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
3.Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
4.The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.
5.The antibody was conjugated with R-PE under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE were removed.
