Anti-CX3CL1 antibody produced in rabbit

CX3CL1 Antibody: Chemokines are a family of proteins associated with the trafficking of leukocytes in immune surveillance and inflammatory cell recruitment. They are classified based on the positions of key cysteine residues. CX3CL1 is a CX3C chemokine known to induce adhesion and migration of leukocytes mediated by a membrane-bound and soluble form respectively. Recent experiments have shown that CX3CL1 can suppress the production of nitrous oxide, interleukin-6, and TNF-α in activated microglia and neuronal cells, suggesting that it may act as an intrinsic inhibitor against neurotoxicity by activated microglia. Its receptor, CX3CR1, also functions as a co-receptor for HIV-1 and HIV-2 envelope fusion and virus infection, which can be inhibited by CX3CL1.

CX3CL1 antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to 18 amino acids near the amino terminus of human CX3CL1.The immunogen is located within amino acids 20 - 70 of CX3CL1.

CX3CL1 antibody can be used for detection of CX3CL1 by Western blot at 0.5 - 2 μg/mL dilution. CX3CL1 is ofen observed migrating at 80 - 100 kDa in SDS-PAGE, presumably due to post-translational modification. Antibody validated: Western Blot in mouse samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

Supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
