CD195 Mouse anti-Human, BUV395, Clone: 2D7/CCR5, BD, Mouse Monoclonal Antibody, Each

Details

The 2D7/CCR5 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the human chemokine receptor, CCR5. CCR5 is also known as CD195. CCR5 is a seven transmembrane-spanning G protein-associated molecule. CCR5 belongs to the beta chemokine receptor family. It is expressed on a subset of T lymphocytes (CD3 CD45RO CD95 ). CCR5 regulates lymphocyte chemotaxis activation and transendothelial migration during inflammation. It signals a response to at least three chemokines: Regulated upon Activation Normal T-cell Expressed and Secreted (RANTES), Macrophage Inflammatory Protein-1 (MIP-1) and Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein 2 (MCP-2). Additionally, CCR5 has been found to be a coreceptor for macrophage-tropic HIV-1 on CD4 cells, a characteristic that is important in viral transmission. Reports indicate that individuals who have partial (heterozygous) or complete (homozygous) deletion of the CCR5 allele, demonstrate resistance to HIV infection. This antibody has been shown to block ligand and gp120 binding. It is also able to neutralize HIV infection. The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon BUV395 which has been exclusively developed by BD Biosciences as an optimal dye for use on a 355nm laser equipped instrument. With an Ex Max at 348nm and an Em Max at 395nm, this dye has virtually no spillover into any other detector. BD Horizon BUV395 can be excited with a 355nm laser and detected with a 379/28 filter.
