描述:
The 11A9 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CCR6. CCR6 is a seven-transmembrane, G-protein-coupled, glycoprotein receptor that is
a member of the beta chemokine receptor family. CCR6 was clustered as CD196 in the 7th HLDA Workshop. The human CCR6 gene has
been mapped to chromosome 6q27. CCR6 is a receptor for the CC chemokine CCL20/MIP-3alpha/LARC/Exodus and also binds with lower
affinity to and mediates responses to beta-defensin2/hBD-2. CCR6 is predominantly expressed by B lymphocytes, certain subsets of effector
and memory T cells and by immature dendritic cells but not by monocytes, NK cells, or granulocytyes. Skin-homing CLA (Cutaneous
Lymphocyte Antigen)-positive memory T cells, Th1 cells, regulatory T cells and IL-17A-producing Th17 cells predominantly express high
levels of CCR6. CCR6 mediates the trafficking of T, B, and dendritic cells to epithelial sites near the skin and mucosal surfaces during
inflammatory and immunological responses. An N-terminal peptide of human CCR6 was used as an immunogen to generate the 11A9
hybridoma. The 11A9 antibody does not cross-react with human CCR1, CCR2, CCR3, CCR4, CCR5, CCR7, CCR8, CCR9, CXCR1,
CXCR2, CXCR3, CXCR4 and CXCR5 receptors. This antibody is NOT a neutralizing antibody.
The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV786 which is part of the BD Horizon™ Brilliant Violet™ family of dyes. This dye is a
tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon™ BV421 with an Ex Max of 405-nm and an acceptor dye with an Em Max at 786-nm. BD Horizon™
BV786 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in a filter used to detect Cy™7-like dyes (eg, 780/60-nm filter).
