Ready-to-Assay CCR1 Chemokine Receptor Frozen Cells

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.

CCR1 is a GPCR that binds to a variety of CC ligands, including MIP-1, RANTES, MCP-3, HCC-1, HCC-2, HCC-4, and MPIF-1 (Olson and Ley, 2002). Lymphocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and GM-CSF-activated neutrophils express CCR1 (Kaufmann et al., 2001; Cheng et al., 2001). Two selective, non-peptide small molecule antagonists of CCR1, BX-471 and CP-481,715, have been synthesized (Gladue et al., 2003; Liang et al., 2000). Pharmacological and genetic targeting of CCR1, either alone or in combination with cyclosporin A, reduces cardiac and renal allograft rejection (Gao et al., 2000; Horuk et al., 2001a; Horuk et al., 2001b), allergic encephalomyelitis (Liang et al., 2000), and renal fibrosis (Anders et al., 2002) in experimental models. Millipore′s cloned human CCR1-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant CCR1 expression on the cell surface and contains high levels of the promiscuous G protein G15 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 CCR1.
