Product Specifications

Immunogen

Antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to 14 amino acids near the amino terminus of human CXCR4 isoform b. The immunogen is located within the first 50 amino acids of CXCR4. Amino Acid Squence: MEGISIYTSDNYTE

Reactivity Notes

Immunogen displays the following percentage of sequence identity for non-tested species: Bovine (86%)

Specificity

Human CXCR4 has four isoforms, including isoform a (356aa, 40.2kD), isoform b (352aa, 39.7kD), isoform c (423aa, 47.6kD), and isoform d (385aa, 43.4kD). This antibody detects human isoform b only, but not other human isoforms. Mouse CXCR4 has two isoforms, including isoform 1 (359aa, 40.4kD) and isoform 2 (357aa, 40.2kD). Rat CXCR4 has only one isoform identified so far (349aa, 39.4kD). CXCR4 Antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other CXCR familiy members.

Immunohistochemistry: CXCR4 Antibody - BSA Free [NBP1-77067] - Validation of CXCR4 in Human Spleen. Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human spleen tissue using anti-CXCR4 antibody at 5 u/ml. Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and blocked with 10% serum for 1 h at RT; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation with a citrate buffer (pH6). Samples were incubated with primary antibody overnight at 4C. A Goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) at 1/250 was used as secondary. Counter stained with Hematoxylin.

Flow Cytometry: CXCR4 Antibody [NBP1-77067] - Astrocytes from wild-type or CXCR4 knockout mice were stained with primary antibodies against CXCR4 and FITClabeled secondary antibodies, and subsequently subjected to flow cytometry. CXCR4-/- astrocytes (red) showed loss of CXCR4 cell-surface expression compared with wild-type cells (black).

Background: CXCR4

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and related viruses require coreceptors, in addition to CD4, to infect target cells. Some G protein-coupled receptors including CCR5, CXCR4, CCR3, CCR2b and CCR8 in the chemokine receptor family, and four new human molecules GPR15, STRL33, GPR1 and V28 were recently identified as HIV coreceptors. Among them, CXCR4 (fusin, LESTR or HUMSTR) is a principal coreceptor for T-cell tropic strains of HIV-1 fusion and entry of human white blood cells. CXCR4 is also required for the infection by dual-tropic strains of HIV-1 and mediates CD-4 independent infection by HIV-2. The a-chemokine SDF-1 is the ligand for CXCR4 and prevents infection by T-tropic HIV-1. CXCR4 associates with the surface CD4-gp120 complex before HIV enters target cells. CXCR4 messenger RNA levels correlated with HIV-1 permissiveness in diverse human cell types. Antibodies to CXCR4 block HIV-1 and HIV-2 fusion and infection of human target cells. The amino-terminal domain and the second extracellular loop of CXCR4 serve as HIV binding sites.
