anti-CXCR4 Antibody

CXCR4

chemokine C-X-C motif receptor 4, chemokine receptor 4

CXCR4 (fusin) is a member in the seven-transmembrane domain G-protein-coupled chemokine receptor family. The full-length cDNA was isolated from a human spleen cDNA library. Its ligand is chemokine stroma-derived factor (SDF). CXCR4 has been shown to be the co-receptor for HIV-1 binding to CD4 throμgh the viral envelope glycoprotein gp120. In other cases, CXCR4 can function as the only receptor for the interaction of HIV-2 with CD4 and host cells. A mouse monoclonal antibody (12G5) to CXCR4 has been shown to inhibit HIV infectivity and HIV-induced syncytium.

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.
