Invitrogen™ CD185 (CXCR5) Monoclonal Antibody (SPRCL5), PE, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

Description: This SPRCL5 monoclonal antibody reacts with Mouse CD185. CD185, which is also known as C-X-C chemokine receptor 5 (CXCR5) and Burkitt lymphoma receptor 1 (BLR1), is a seven transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor originally identified in Burkitt's lymphoma. In peripheral blood, CXCR5 is expressed on B cells, CD4+ T cells (but not Th1 or Th2 cells), as well as on a subpopulation of memory (CD45RO+) T cells. CXCR5+ circulating T cells are in a resting state and migrate to the lymph nodes due to expression of CCR7 and CD62L. In tonsil, CXCR5 is expressed on nearly all CD4+ cells along with CD45RO and such activation markers as CD69 and ICOS. Tonsillar CXCR5+ cells have been shown to induce antibody production when co-cultured with B cells, thus supporting their role in providing B cell help. Furthermore, this chemokine receptor plays a critical role in lymphocyte trafficking, in particular T cell migration into the B cell follicles of germinal centers in response to CXCL13, making CXCR5 an established marker of follicular helper T cells. This SPRCL5 does not see a formaldehyde fixed epitope, therefore staining should be done prior to fixation. Applications Reported: This SPRCL5 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This SPRCL5 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes. This can be used at less than or equal to 0.25 μg per test.

CD185, also known as CXCR5 or Burkitt lymphoma receptor 1 (BLR1), is a seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor in the CXC chemokine receptor family. It plays a crucial role in lymphocyte trafficking, particularly in T cell migration into B cell follicles of germinal centers in response to CXCL13, making it a key marker of follicular helper T cells. In peripheral blood, CXCR5 is expressed on B cells, CD4+ T cells (excluding Th1 and Th2 cells), and a subset of memory (CD45RO+) T cells. These CD185+ T cells are in a resting state and migrate to lymph nodes due to CCR7 and CD62L expression. In tonsils, CD185 is found on nearly all CD4+ cells, along with activation markers like CD69 and ICOS, and can induce antibody production when co-cultured with B cells. CXCR5 is expressed in lymphatic tissues such as lymph node follicles and the spleen, and is also found in human blood and salivary glands, as well as various animal tissues. It is essential for B cell migration and is part of the larger family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which have seven membrane-spanning helices and are involved in numerous signaling pathways. GPCRs, including CXCR5, are regulated by various ligands that affect their conformation and signaling through G-proteins and downstream effectors. The regulation of GPCRs, including their deactivation, has significant implications for cellular functions and is a major focus of pharmacological research, leading to the development of drugs like Zyprexa and Claritin for mental health and allergy treatments.
