CXCR5 Protein-VLP, Human, Recombinant (Flag & His-Strep) is expressed in HEK293 Cells. The accession number is P32302.

Human

HEK293 Cells

A DNA sequence encoding the Human CXCR5 (P32302) (Met1-Phe372) was expressed, with a Flag tag at the N-terminus, a polyhistidine tag and a strep tag at the C-terminus.

Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -70℃. Store it under sterile conditions at -70℃ or lower. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Because of the level of attention it received due to its role as the principal HIV coreceptor, CCR5 has been described as a 'celebrity' chemokine receptor. The wealth of CCR5-related tools that have been developed during the intensive investigation of CCR5 as an HIV drug target can now be turned towards the study of CCR5 as a model chemokine receptor. The enforced expression of CXCR5 onto Treg cells efficiently induces Tfr cell-like properties, which might be a promising cellular therapeutic approach for the treatment of antibody-mediated autoimmune diseases. The Chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) is implicated in immune cell migration and cytokine release in the CNS, and it was demonstrated to strongly contribute to CNS inflammation and damage in several models of sterile and pathogen-mediated CNS diseases.
