Invitrogen™ CD183 (CXCR3) Monoclonal Antibody (CEW33D), PE, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

Description: The CEW33D monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD183. CD183, also known as CXCR3, is a G protein-coupled chemokine receptor that interacts with ligands CXCL9 (MIG), CXCL10 (IP-10), and CXCL11 (I-TAC). Strongly associated with type 1 immunity, CD183 is induced in naive T cells upon activation and remains upregulated in T helper type (Th)1 cells, CD8 effector cells, NK cells and NKT cells. CD183-ligand interactions mediate infiltration of inflamed tissues in normal type 1 immune responses as well as in many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. CD183 is also expressed on some B cells and plasmacytoid DC. Applications Reported: This CEW33D antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This CEW33D antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of normal human peripheral blood cells. This can be used at 5 μL (0.25 μg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. Excitation: 488-561 nm; Emission: 578 nm; Laser: Blue Laser, Green Laser, Yellow-Green Laser. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.

CD183, also known as CXCR3, is a seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled chemokine receptor that binds CXCL9 (Mig), CXCL10 (IP-10), and CXCL11 (I-TAC), which are part of the CXC chemokine subfamily. CD183 plays a crucial role in leukocyte traffic, influencing integrin activation, cytoskeletal changes, and chemotactic migration. It is expressed on NK cells, subsets of T lymphocytes, regulatory T cells (Tregs), and is preferentially found on Th1-polarized cells. CD183 is prominently expressed in effector/memory T cells and T cells in inflamed tissues, contributing to CD4 T cell responses to grafts, as evidenced by compromised allograft rejection in CXCR3 knockout mice. Chemokine binding induces rapid, short-lived cellular responses due to receptor internalization, with responsiveness restored after receptor recycling. Inhibition by Bordetella pertussis toxin suggests coupling with Gi subclass G proteins. The production of IP-10, Mig, and I-TAC in inflammatory lesions indicates CD183 role in recruiting inflammatory cells, making it a target for developing antagonists to treat inflammatory diseases. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms of CD183 have been identified.
