SpecificityThe specificity of this antibody has been confirmed by WB and IHC against the antigen. Human; expected to react with rat and mouse due to sequence homology
Species ReactivityHuman, Mouse (Predicted), Rat (Predicted)
Immunogen DescriptionA synthetic peptide (PCQKINVKQIAARLLP) corresponding to a region (19-34) from the N-terminus of human C-C Chemokine Receptor type 5. To enhance the immunological response, this peptide was coupled to carrier protein BSA.
ConjugateUnconjugated
Purity DescriptionAffinity purified on antigen column
Application DetailsImmunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blotting (WB). A concentration of 0.1-0.5 µg/mL is recommended for WB. Human CCR5 has a predicted length of 352 residues and MW of 41 kDa. A concentration of 0.5-1 µg/mL is recommended to detect the protein in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues. Heat mediated antigen retrieval is recommended. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Scientific BackgroundC-C Chemokine Receptor type 5 (CCR5) is a G-protein coupled receptor for a number of inflammatory CC-chemokines including MIP-1-alpha, MIP-1-beta and RANTES. CCR5 and its ligands may also play important roles in the control of granulocytic lineage proliferation or differentiation as well as pathogenesis of viruses such as HIV.
Immunohistochemical staining with Rabbit polyclonal antibody to human C-C Chemokine Receptor type 5 (R-1043-100) at 2 µg/mL in Human Rectal Cancer Tissue. Secondary biotin conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG antibody at 10 µg/mL.
