Millipore′s Ready-to-Assay GPCR frozen cells are designed for simple, rapid calcium assays with no requirement for intensive cell culturing. Millipore has optimized the freezing conditions to provide cells with high viability and functionality post-thaw. The user simply thaws the cells and resuspends them in media, dispenses cell suspension into assay plates and, following over night recovery, assays for calcium response.

CXCR3 is a 7-TM GPCR that is selective for the CXC chemokines IP10, I-TAC and MIG (Loetscher et al., 1996). Binding of IP10 and MIG to CXCR3 induces Ca2+ mobilization, chemotaxis and inflammatory responses of T lymphocytes, and also act as potent inhibitors of angiogenesis. CXCR3 is highly expressed in IL-2-activated T lymphocytes in vitro (Loetscher et al., 1996), and in T lymphocytes present in inflamed tissues in rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis (Balashoy et al., 1999; Qin et al., 1998). In vivo, neutralization of CXCR3 inhibits experimentally induced type I diabetes (Frigerio et al., 2002), peritonitis (Xie et al., 2003), and post-lung transplantation bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (Belperio et al., 2002). Millipore′s cloned human CXCR3-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant CXCR3 expression on the cell surface and contains high levels of the promiscuous G protein Gα15 to couple the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for agonists, antagonists and modulators at CXCR3.
