The 2B11/CXCR4 monoclonal antibody specifically reacts with mouse CD184, which is also known as CXC chemokine receptor, CXCR4. CXCR4 (previously known as Fusin and LESTR), a seven-transmembrane, G-protein-coupled receptor, is the specific receptor for CXC chemokines, SDF-1/CXCL12. Mouse CXCR4 shows 91 % homology at amino acid level with human CXCR4. CXCR4 is widely expressed by hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cell types including neutrophils, monocytes, T cells, B cells, CD34-positive progenitor cells, endothelial cells, neurons and astrocytes. Human CXCR4 is used by T-tropic HIV-1 as a co-receptor for viral entry. The mouse CXCR4 gene has been mapped to chromosome 1. Detection of CXCR4 expression on BALB/c thymocytes by purified 2B11/CXCR4. BALB/c thymocytes were stained with 0.5 μg/test of Purified Rat anti-Mouse CD184 using 3-step staining protocol outlined below and APC Rat anti-Mouse CD4 (Cat. No. 553051). The level of nonspecific staining was assessed by using Purified Rat IgG2b, κ Isotype Control(Cat. No. 553986). The quadrant markers for the bivariate dot plots were set based on the isotype control. Flow cytometry was performed on a FACScan™ Flow Cytometer .
