anti-CCR2 Antibody

CCR2

CCR2A, CCR2B, Chemokine CC Motif Receptor 2, CKR2, Monocyte Chemotactic Protein 1 Receptor,

Chemokines play important roles in inflammation and critical for the recruitment of effector immune cells to sites of infection. Chemokines activate leukocytes by binding to G protein coupled receptors. The ever-growing chemokine receptor subtypes can be divided into 2 major groups, CXCR and CCR, based on the 2 major classes of chemokines. One of the CCR receptors, CCR1, is expressed on neutrophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, and eosinophils and binds the leukocyte chemoattractant and hemopoiesis regulator macrophage-inflammatory protein (MIP-1 ), eotaxin, as well as several other related chemokines. Mice lacking the chemokine receptor CCR1 have defects in neutrophil trafficking and proliferation.

Rabbit

Polyclonal

Rabbit IgG

Human, mouse, rat

Synthetic peptide surrounding to amino acid 353 of rat CCR2

0.5 mg/ml

Liquid

100 µg (0.5 mg/ml) affinity purified rabbit anti-CCR2 polyclonal antibody in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, containing 30% glycerol and 0.01% Thimerosal.

Affinity purified

Western blot

Western blotting (0.5-4 µg/ml). However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually. The antibody detects ~42 kDa of CCR2 in samples from human, mouse and rat origins. Reactivity to other species has not been determined.

Shelf time: 12 months in temp.: -20 deg.C

gel pack

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
